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! 

Flowering Foils ombre 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

  • Pleased as Punch fun fold card

    I made this card for a recent online swap I participated in.  I believe this type of fold is called a 'Joy Fold' card.

    The Pool Party piece is folded in half; the bottom part is under the front flap of the White layer.  See measurements below.

    I chose to use the brand new Pleased as Punch designer paper seen here.  It coordinates with FOUR of our current punches – amazing!  The two hearts on this card are punched directly from the designer paper.

  • Lovely Lily Pad Wow Card

    Look at this gorgeous card Candace made for our last Flowerbug's Team card swap.  She's a fabulous card designer!

    Candace Lily. Save

    She used the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and the Lily Pad dies for this card.  She colored the stamped lily with Wink of Stella. Did you know that if you stamp in our Classic ink you can just blend the colors without adding more ink? Super easy; especially with a nice outline image like this one. 

    Her colors here are Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay with White and Olive accents.  

    The greeting here is from the 'Thanks for the Laughs' stamp set on page 11 of your Mini Catalog.  See it here. 

    Save

    The Lovely Lily Pad stamp set is free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion throught March of 2020.  The dies are free with a $100 order.  Place a $150 order and you get both FREE plus $15 in free product and Buyer Brownie Points from me.  See details on my loyalty program here.
