I've created many cards with this pretty, all seasons set. It's been a blast to work with. I've picked out 8 cards to include in a kit to go option and/or a tutorial. (details below)

There are 3 options for you but the best deal is the pre-cut cards kit along with the stamp set and a share of Linen thread. The pdf tutorial for the 8 cards will also include extra card ideas too!  

Here's a peek at them:

• Ombre Blending with Decorative Masks; an easy technique!

  August 17, 2021

  ---

  If you struggle to get a smooth blend I have a few suggestions for you.  We made this striking card at a class this weekend.  Everyone loved it and they all turned out fabulous!

  Save

  Details:

  • The colors here are Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler; with a bit of gold glitz thrown in.
  • The leaves are die-cut from the Intricate Leaves dies seen here. 
  • The greeting is from the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set in the Holiday catalog. I love this greeting!  See it here.

  Here are some tips & suggestions for perfect Ombre' blending:

  • Use out Blending Brushes; they really do make a smooth blend easier.
  • Choose colors that are similar in hue. For instance blues and greens, or yellows to reds.  
  • Blend over a Decorative Mask – see them all here.  The patterned stencils/masks seem to break up any inconsistencies in your blending. 
  • Here I added color onto Crumb Cake card stock; that also helps and would be a a good color to practice on. 
  • I start out with the lightest color and work my way downward; in this case at an angle.  
  • I leave a tiny space between colors and make sure to blend/connect them by going into the previous color just a bit before moving.
