SO EASY! Using Masking Paper Strips for DIY Blending Patterns

Happy Tuesday! So sorry for the delay in sharing this video! I meant to post it yesterday but had some design deadlines that took precedence. Anyhow, today’s card is Day 2 of the Valentine’s Day Card Series for 2022! And it’s a super easy and fun one. I created my own pattern for blending using strips of masking paper.

Enjoy!
