Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Ombre

 Hello and welcome,

It's Stamping 2nd Sunday latest blog hop for June, hosted by Sara Levin and for this month the design team will be showcasing our projects using the Ombre technique. The list of participants will be at the end of this blog.

Ombre is a beautiful way to create a gradual shaded look in your paper crafts by blending from light to dark. This technique is a favourite of mine and it's been my go to of lately, when I've been creating my projects. The new Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes makes it so much easier to create gradual colour.

Today's projects is a handmade card and 3D gift box using Stampin' Up! products from the Annual Catalogue for 2021 - 2022. I've used the cute bear from the Count on Me Stamp Set in watercolour blending the following inks Cinnamon Cider, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Real Red for the heart.

Card

Starting with Early Espresso Cardstock for the card base and layered with a panel in Shimmery White Cardstock. I've applied Evening Evergreen Ink with the Blending Brush to the panel and gradually added more Ink as I go. Using Evening Evergreen Stampin' Blend, I've splattered ink onto the paper by using the brush tip against the lid. 

I've added many layers to the card by using strips of DSP by ripping the edge and adding ink for an Ombre look as well. The Stitched Leave Dies is in Basic White Cardstock and I applied Evening Evergreen Ink with the Blending Brush. 

The tag which is from the Tailor Made Tag Dies is in Crumb Cake with Crumb Cake Ink and splattered Cinnamon Cider Ink with the Stampin' Blend.

To create the sentiment I've used  a strip of Basic White Cardstock adding Cinnamon Cider Ink with the Blending Brush and die cut out using the Playful Alphabet Dies.

3D Gift Box

I've created an Ombre look and applied Cinnamon Cider Ink and Early Espresso Ink to the Scalloped Kraft Treat Box. The colours showoff against the gold polka dots on the box and I just love the Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon against the gift box. 

The Tailor Made Tags and Stitched Leaves Dies add many layers to this cute gift box and makes a lovely set to go with the card.
