Teal Ombre

The Details

I love this beautiful Tuscan Tile design and it is the perfect backdrop or featured panel. I’ve stamped it in a trio of teals for a lovely Sympathy card.

Make sure you check out the video to see all of these techniques in action!

Ink Technique: A trio of teals with the lightest at the top and darkest at the bottom.

Variegated Greens

The Details

This time I have a bold panel in vibrant greens. I love the random variation for this birthday card.

Ink Technique: Pick two tones of green and randomly ink up all over the background stamp.

Pink Ombre Stripes

The Details

This pink really pops! By using a diagonal pattern, it seems to move with the repetition of ombre pinks from light to dark.

Ink Technique: Swipe the ink cube at an angle and stamp each color in light to dark.

Purple Swipes

The Details

This is a twist on a simple ombre. Instead of blocks of color, the color is blended in a swiped pattern.

Ink Technique: Swipe the light ink from the top of the stamp toward the bottom and the dark ink from the bottom toward the top.

Assemble This! Video

Watch along as I assemble these cards with all my inky tips and tricks using just one background stamp.
