Ombre Blending with Decorative Masks; an easy technique!

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.

• Last of 3 ideas with the Friendly Hello Sale-a-Bration bundle; treat box & video

  January 13, 2022

  ---

  I've been sharing the projects I made on last week's FB Live and this is the last one.  It's a pretty treat box that's actually quite easy to make. 

  Save

  The box above features Pool Party, White & Black colors with a bird & flower accent.  The one below is in Fresh Freesia with Pool Party accents.  

  Save

  Here are both together. I used the same stamps & Designer paper but look how different they are!  Black glittered ribbon vs sheer Pool Party ribbon also makes a difference in the overall look. 

  Save

  Click here to see the Friendly Hello bundle.  It's part of our Sale-a-Bration offering through the end of February, 2022.  It's free with a $100 purchase from my store. I love this time of year when everyone can get something free with their purchase.  Most items are free with a $50 order but there are a few of higher value that are free with a $100 order.  

  Save

  And here is the template & measurements.  Watch the video here or click below to see how to make it from start to finish.

  Here's what the box looks like open.  You can fit quite a few small treats inside.  This would be perfect for a Valentine's treat box too.

  Below is the video for three projects using this beautiful FREE bundle.  This box is the last project I share.
