Geometric fun with an Ombre’ effect; video tutorial too!

December 28, 2021

I've been sharing ideas & techniques featuring the Plenty of Patterns masks from a recent FB Live video.

Today it's an Ombre' effect created with a grid mask, 4 colors of ink and Blending Brushes.

The colors I used are from top to bottom: Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. I used our Blending Brushes to achieve this smooth blended look. See them here. I love them; they're so worth investing in. And the nice thing is that the ink can be rinsed out to use them in any color next time.

I used the grid mask in the set of 4 seen below & here.

I'm sure you noticed the hexagonal greeting die-cuts. This is part of a new die-cut set called Beautiful Shapes dies coming out in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog. And the Adhesive-Backed Hexagons coordinate wonderfully. These embellishments come in a package of three colors – Black, Blushing Bride & Just Jade.

I added a zig-zag of ribbon behind my greeting image; see my easy method in the video.

Below is the video with these projects & lots more!
