Hi
Again Friends!!
This
card was created for the Splitcoaststampers Hope You Can Cling To HYCCT1517 Lori’s “Light Days” Challenge (to
create a card using the ombré technique) and I decided to also incorporate the
Hand Stamped Sentiments HSSCS222 Color Challenge along with the Pals Paper Arts PPA272 Sketch Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to do so, I
hope you will take the time to visit the above galleries- wonderful inspiration
from all!!
To
create this quick and simple card:
Using
Sponge Daubers create the ombré background from the retired Irresistibly Yours
Designer Specialty Paper (DSP) by sponging the colors starting at the top with
Hello Honey blending in the middle withTangelo Twist and at the bottom with Cajun
Craze Classic Ink.
Wipe
off the excess ink from the embossed areas on the DSP with a lightly damp paper
towel.
***FYI- I also inked the retired
Script background with the same colors and stamped over the panel but once I
wiped off the ink with the lightly damp paper towel, it is difficult to see the
background stamp in the photo.
Trim
the background panel and mount onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim
again and mount onto the Tangelo Twist card base.
Stamp
the acorns with Crajun Craze Classic Ink and the acorn tops with Hello Honey
rolled into Tangelo Twist onto Whisper White cardstock. Use
the Acorn Builder Punch to punch out all of the acorn pieces and adhere the pieces
together.
Stamp
the sentiment using Cajun Craze Classic Ink onto a piece of Whisper White
cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Tangelo Twist cardstock, trim and
mount onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Mount
the sentiment panel to the card front and add the acorns using Stampin’
Dimensionals®.
Adhere
a few Cajun Craze Candy Dots to the acorn tops finish off the card.
Quick, easy and fun!!
