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!

Stencil masking technique 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.

    They recommend using the Seriously the Best stamp set but you can substitute any set you'd like.  I have sure loved using this stamp set though.  I love the nice big greetings in the pretty font!

  • Stock up on your Men’s cards!

    Most of us have lots of feminine, pretty or cute cards but when we need a card for the men in our life we usually have to scramble!  

    Well I've got a quick solution for you.  Use the Come Sail Away Memories & More cards plus the Cards & Envelopes.  You can either purchase my pre-cut 12 cards kit to go with pdf tutorial here or just the tutorial alone here.   

    It includes $18 in products including 1/2 pkg of Come Sail Away Memories & More cards pack and Memories & More cards and envelopes plus a pre-cut kit needed to complete your cards.  It also includes one package of Basic Brads, two spools of twine (Navy & Navy/Sahara Sand) and a few Sail Away trinkets. 

    I have a limited supply of this kit on hand because many of the products are retiring.  Many of these items are on sale right now on the Last Chance list here. 

    Here are two examples of the 12 cards in this kit.
