Hello stampers and happy Friday to you. As promised here is the second half of the cards that I have gathered from the uber talented Chay Wright. These cards also use the Natural Tones Blends, but this time they are used to make flowers instead of humans!
Gorgeous Flowers with Blends and Alcohol
I finally have what I need to try and imitate this gorgeous technique. In the meantime, it is much easier to share Chay Wright’s amazing work. Be sure to subscribe to her channel on YouTube which you can find here.
I did an Blends and Alcohol card back in the fall and you can check out the video tutorial in this blog post.
As Chay herself says, sometimes when you are trying to make alcohol roses, they don’t turn out exactly as you would like. Don’t throw those attempts out! You can use them to make a card just like the one below! The trick to making these roses is this little tool that you can buy on Amazon. I tried with a cheapie from the dollar store but the results were disastrous.

Chay first did this Blends and Alcohol technique last summer. You can see her blog post with step by step instructions here. You can also find her on Instagram here.
Edited: Chay just posted the video tutorial for these cards here. Enjoy!!
I think I will probably have to wait until I get to Holland before I can try this Blends and Alcohol technique. Life is busy at 81 Delaware with my kids and grandkids living with me temporarily. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, these are precious moments. There will always be time to stamp and play later. Now it’s oma time!!
I hope that you have fantastic success with this technique. Be sure to set your calendar on your phone to May 4 with a reminder that this suite will once again be available to purchase! Have a super day and happy stamping.
Hello stampers and happy Wednesday to you. Today I am introducing Chay Wright and the All Together Suite. It will be an unusual post since it is all about the work of someone I admire. When I saw Chay’s gorgeous cards I knew that it just couldn’t get any better than this! I contacted her and asked if I could share her creations on my blog. These cards are a work of art and they really show how gorgeous this suite is. I hope you think so too!
The All Together Suite
The All Together suite has a stamp set, dies, patterned paper and perhaps most importantly of all, a set of ten Naturals Blends. I’m pretty sure that the Blends were designed for skin tones. We were seriously missing enough selection to capture all the skin tones of the world! The coordinating stamp set shows some iconic images that bring us together instead of dividing us. I can certainly get behind that concept!
Chay’s Beautiful Work
Here I am going to share with you the gorgeous cards that Chay has shared already with her fellow demonstrators. I am so thankful that she was pleased to have me share them here with you.
All Together Suite Back-Ordered!
Even though the suite is now back-ordered until May 2 rather than April 6, I thought I would share these cards anyways. Do you know why? It is because the dies are also retiring! If you want to make that stunning card above, you will need the Playful Alphabet dies. They are now also on sale for only $36.80.
More of Chay’s Work To Come
Chay has also done some beautiful work with the Blends and alcohol on vellum for a gorgeous effect. They deserve their own blog post don’t you think? The All Together Suite was so popular that it was backordered until May 2, 2022. That is the reason I waited with posting this blog post until now.
Video Tutorial
Here is Chay’s video tutorial so you can see first hand how to do that amazing colouring. Put a reminder in your phone for May 2 so that you can order your All Together Suite as soon as possible!
Thanks!
Thanks for joining me today. I am sure that you are just as impressed with Chay’s work as I am. Too bad you have to wait with getting the suite, but it will be worth the wait! Be sure to check out the Last Chance List here for all the retiring products and the deals. There are also two more days to save 20% on the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and ten assorted stamp sets and dies. Check that selection out here. Have a super day!
