Soft Blended Background with Mint Owl Studio Lilies of Hope Set

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a birthday card featuring Mint Owl Studio. I used masking and Distress Ink to create that soft background and share some tips in the video for how to achieve the look. The coloring of the lilies from Lilies of Hope was also done with great care as a fade from purple to white was a new challenge for me. To finish it off I added some sequins from the Royalty Mix. Check out the video for more detail.
