Valentine Ombre Stamping
Melissa shows us this week how to she does the ombre effect with dies and gelatos. You can click on the title above to see her example.
I made this card, and chose to use the Big Hugs die from Papertrey Ink, along with the Sunflower cover plate. I am in need of these kinds of cards these days.
I die cut the sunflower and only used part of it. I placed a piece of polk a dot design paper behind it and place it on White card stock base. I die cut three of the HUGS and colored with my Zig clean water colors brushes in the three shades of yellow for the ombre effect. The rest of the sentiment is from the same set.
Isn't it funny how cards come together unexpectedly. This is such a striking color combo! I may have to borrow this idea soon! Thanks for inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteTotally love this card and especially how it came together...gotta love happy accidents like that! Really like the striking color against the black and white flower...stunning!! :0)
