are so many new items coming in our new catalogue that I really wanted
to use them but I decided that was not a good idea as you would be very
eager to get your hands on them but unfortunately they are not available
til June so I used two of my favorite sets to make these cards for this
blog hop…
The
card on the left I used a favorite stamp set Big on Birthdays & as
you will see the ombre effect on the large birthday sentiment This
effect can be used with many large sentiments even flowers You can
achieve the look simply by choosing 3 depths of coloured ink pads with
the same tone For this card I chose Lemon Lime Twist Bermuda Bay &
Island Indigo

You
start with the lightest ink pad first & ink up the whole stamp then
with the next darkest ink only the bottom 2/3’s & then the darkest
ink just the bottom 1/3 of the sentiment Then stamp down as normal I
also used the Touches Of Texture Stamp set to create a textured
background on my Lemon Lime twist layer using my bermuda bay ink I
finished it of with some of our adhesive backed sequins & some of
the new black cord that will be coming in our new catalogue

& layers of Flirty Flamingo & whisper white
I used a combination of Soft Suede Daffodil Delight Calypso Coral & Cajun Craze ink pads & stamped the sentiment in Black Archival Ink I then finished it off using the new Crumb Cake bakers twine & the faceted gems that will be coming in our new catalogue
I also did a live video showing how I created these cards as well as another card using the Tranquil Tulips Host Set
