It’s been a while since I’ve entered a design challenge. When I have remembered to look at them, I either don’t own all the colours that are required for the challenge or I’ve only got half a day before I need to enter. With two kids, that’s just not so easy. There has been tummy bugs going around. Anyways, moving forward. When I saw this week’s challenge at TGIFC 135 – Inspiration/Technique Week I knew I had to participate!
My mind immediate raced to painting my own ombre background, because that sounds like so much fun. Then I started to think about the stamp sets that I have not used much yet from the 2017 Holiday Catalogue and it all just came to me. I just love the Snowflake Sentiments and a blue ombre would just look divine! I created a few different cards, but this is the card I’m entering into the challenge:
To create this card I started with Shimmery White A4 Cardstock, my Aqua Painter and ink refills in Tempting Turquoise and Soft Sky. I watered down the ink and started to paint the Shimmery White Cardstock, starting with Soft Sky and blending in the Tempting Turquoise. Towards the bottom I used more concentrated ink in Tempting Turquoise. I was honestly delighted with the result.
The ombre shimmery cardstock was then cut out using the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits Dies and the snowflakes heat embossed on. The Merry Christmas was also heat embossed. I wish I could really share how shimmery the card is.
I will post soon more photos of the other cards I created.
Thank you for visiting my blog! I hope that I’ve inspired you to be creative.
Bye for now!
