Hi there. Today I’m sharing a card set I created for the latest challenge on the Little Tangles Challenge Blog HERE…
When I think of Ombre, I think of Ombre ink pads from Hero Arts. I just love them. In fact, I’ve done other posts about these ink pads using different techniques that you can find HERE and HERE. For today’s card set, I used them to create Ombre die-cut sentiments…
I die-cut THIS Neat and Tangled hello word die (one of my favorites!) several times from THIS white cardstock. (I layered three of four die-cuts together for each card to give the die-cut more stability) I used THESE sponge daubers to apply the ink. I started with the lightest ink color from the pad and applied it at the top, then I moved on to the medium shade and applied it in the center, and applied the darkest shade at the bottom. Once it was dry, I went back in with the darkest color and did another layer of ink to intensify the color transition.
Here’s a closer look…
I used THIS ink pad for the purple card…
I used THIS ink pad for the green card…
I used THIS ink pad for this peach card…
I wanted the main focus to be on the sentiment, so I kept the rest of the card simple. I did want to add a bit of texture to the background so I used THIS paste and THIS stencil to add a bit of interest…
The paste gives the most beautiful, pearl shine…
I love using the Hero Arts Ombre Inks for this technique because it takes all the guess work out of planning what inks to use and makes the process so quick! I have one of these ink pads up for grabs in a giveaway HERE if you’re interested!
Make sure to head over to the Little Tangles Challenge Blog HERE to see more inspiration and play along. The winner receives a Neat and Tangled Stamp Set of their choice! I can’t wait to see what you create.
