Ombre sponging technique with Flowering Foils

Before I talk about today's project I have to let you know that they Golden Honey Designer Paper is no longer available.  It was one of the free choices during Sale-a-Bration.  Unfortunately these products are only available while supplies last. So don't delay on your orders!  

This next card is a version of a card I'm sending to my new Team members who purchased the Starter kit this month.  I chose to use Bermuda Bay with Black and White; you know the 'Black & White with a pop of color' theme.  It's a classic and always works! 

Save

I started out with a 2" X 5" strip of the Flowering Foils specialty designer paper.  It's gorgeous with silver and rose gold foil designs. You can see it here.  It's a free choice with any $50 order while supplies last.  

I inked a wedge of sponge in Bermuda Bay ink and lightly sponged from bottom up.  I always start off of the card stock when I want a smooth look.  Also sponge in a soft circular motion; almost like you are washing it.  You can see me demo this in my FB Live video here. 

Other Details:

• Rare Blessings stamp set for the greeting
• Stitched So Sweetly dies
• pearls are colored with the dark Bermuda Bay Blends marker
• The flower is fussy cut from the same designer paper and colored with light Bermuda Bay Blends marker

• Another cute card with the Happy Place stamp set with free project sheet!

  September 24, 2025

  ---

  I shared one card yesterday and here’s one more. Both are fun ways to add color to this neat stamp.

  Save

  You can see this neat stamp set here. I love it and see lots of possibilities; especially for scrapbooking!

  Save

  I chose the Full of Life designer paper for my background here; adding texture with the Waves 3D embossing folder. My colors include Pool Party, Black with Peach & Melon Mambo. I colored the large image in with Watercolor Pencils which I hadn’t used for a long time!

  Save

  I decided to try a different blue for the left card above – Cloud Cover. The right is Pool Party. Which do you prefer?
  

  I have a free project sheet for you and a video tutorial as well. Click Happy Place with Full of Life DSP on this link for the project sheet you can print or download. I suggest you save these project sheets in a file on your computer for card ideas.

• A fun way to add color to the Happy Place stamp with video tutorial

  September 22, 2025

  ---

  I shared how to add color to the large ‘Happy’ from the Happy Place stamp set on last week’s Live video. What do you think?

  Save

  We made this cute card at my September card clubs. The colors include Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral & White. You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned inking on the Happy image. I used inks – Lost Lagoon for the water and Calypso Coral for the sky. For this sample I used large ink pads. But for my Clubs we used smaller ink spots. It was a lot easier this way!

  Save

  You might also wonder where I got the rectangle Perennial Postage die shape. I had to die-cut a larger rectangle twice to get this size. It was pretty easy and I share how in the video below.

  Save

  We textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Wave 3D embossing folder and the curvy leaf dies are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I love them! The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

  Save

  It’s an easy fold that shows off the inside of the card and the designer paper we added. This DSP is the Subtles 6″ designer paper which has some great patterns.

  Save

  I really enjoyed playing with this fun stamp set. I’ll share another project from the video tomorrow. See the Happy Place set here.

  I created a free project sheet for you with measurements, photos, directions and a supply list with links. Click on this link to print or download it.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you’re there!
