Delightfully Detailed Ombre Strips with Blends

Hello there,
today I used the Delightfully Detailed laser cut paper again but this time I used just a few of the border strips coloured using blends to create an ombre effect. I coloured two of the long strips, one in pool party and one with pink pirouette (retired but you could use Petal Pink now) before adhering and trimming to a white card layer...

Adding them in an alternating diagonal pattern and wrapping with pink twine.

Finish with a sentiment (from Wood Words) and a few rhinestones for a cas card!

 You could make this card would in any of the blends colours, including any of the new ones that are all now available, all you need is the light and dark of any pen set. I'd love to see if you have a go!

Pink Ombre Delightfully Detailed Paper

Hello there,
I have another card for you today using the Delightfully Detailed laser-cut paper.  For this card I used a simple watercolour wash with ink pads to create a pink ombre effect starting with Melon Mambo then Flirty Flamingo then finishing with Powder Pink at the top...

 Once it was dry (I used my heat tool to help speed this up) I added it to a same sized white card background before layering onto black card and wrapping with Powder Pink shimmer ribbon.

I finished the card with a sentiment (from Picture Perfect Birthday) heat embossed in white and layered it onto a Smoky Slate base.

I've really enjoyed using this paper and still have a couple more cards to share so I do hope your loving it too ;-)
Thanks so much for looking today, back soon with another make!

Green Ombre Card using a Sponge Brayer on Laser Cut paper.

Hello there,
Today I have a card for you using the new Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Speciality Paper! What a mouthful that name is, right?? OK, so I think I'll  abbreviate it on here to just laser-cut paper, lol! As much as a pain the name is the actual paper is really lovely and so the other day I used some of the card front pieces with several different colouring techniques to make a few different cards.
I'm going to start with this leaf pattern design first which I added a simple and easy green ombre effect to using a sponge brayer...

The paper is a lovely vanilla on one side with the reverse being white. They can be used as they are and are just lovely like that but it's also perfect paper for adding colour to, too.
For this ombre effect I started by adding Garden Green at the bottom using the brayer then moving onto Old Olive in the centre and Lemon-lime Twist at the top. I did this all using the same brayer as you don't need to get a lot of ink on it, just roll the brayer onto scrap paper before moving onto the next colour. Add the panel to a Crumb Cake piece of card for a natural looking background.

 Layer onto black card and wrap with copper thread before adding to a Lemon-Lime Twist card base. Sentiment is from Colourful Seasons.
So, have you tried sponge brayers yet? They are so fun to use ;-)
I have made several other cards with this paper using different techniques so I'll of course share those with you over the coming days :-)
Thanks for looking today, I hope you have chance to craft this weekend!

Watercoloured Ombre Wedding Card and Special Offers from Stampin' Up!

Hello!
Apologies for my week long absence from here but I've been laid up, poorly :-(  But, as I'm feeling much better now I wanted to hop on and share the special offers SU! have running this week and of course a card!
Actually, it's one I made way back in the summer! You know, it's funny, but when the new Christmas stuff came in I got so immersed in it and excited to share all the things as I made with them that some of my other makes got held back. So now I'm going to share a few with you over the next few days before I get back into my craft room and finish the last of my Christmas cards!
But, before I do, can I just mention the "BF" words?! Yes, SU! is having a Black Friday sale running 'till the 26th November (Sunday @11pm) You can see the list of all the special discounts on the selected stamp sets HERE or hop over to my SHOP HERE

In addition to this SU! is celebrating 10 years in Europe and so is having an additional special offering 10 special priced items, just in the European market, to celebrate each of those years...

And finally some ADVANCE NOTICE: The above offers will finish on 11pm Sunday night but they will be replaced with a FREE shipping offer just for 24 hours!
Starting at 11pm Sunday 26th November, 'till 11pm Monday 27th November to celebrate "Cyber Monday" saving you £4.95 :-))

OK, so let's (finally) see this card I promised, shall we? 

I made it to celebrate my step daughter and her new husband's wedding :-)

I started with a sheet of watercolour paper the same width as this card (DL=21cm x 10.5cm) and added a watercolour wash using just about all of my pink ink pads to make this ombre effect. I then dried the paper with my heat tool and die cut the words out using the Large Letter Framelits...

The paper in the background is actually from the coffee break DSP. The scalloped border along the bottom edge is made using the Seasonal Layers Thinlits.

Finally I dotted the die cut letters with sequins and added a ribbon bow.

So, I hope you liked todays card and all the fab offers that are available too!
Thanks so much for looking today, I'll be back tomorrow with another make :-)
