Quick & Easy Ombre

#stampinup    #faithfulinkspiration   #ManicMonday  What better way to create a quick card in a hurry than to use a quick but gorgeous technique? Today’s card was created by Brooke Outen and I received it at the Proverbial Stampers  & Friends swap recently. Take a look!

Brooke masked off a rectangle with washi tape (you can use painter’s tape) and sponged on Purple Posy and Rococo Rose Inks, making an ombre effect. Next, she stamped images from “Magnolia Morning,” “Free as a Bird,” and “Daisy Lane” in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. These simple line-art images on Whisper White along with the sponged color are striking! 

The stamped images are on a 3-3/4″ Whisper White Card Stock panel. Brooke adhered this to a 4″ by 5-1/4″ Basic Black Card Stock mat and then onto a Thick Whisper White Card Stock card base. That tiny black border between the two white layers adds elegance to the card.


Finally, Brooke added three Gingham Gala Self-Adhesive Sequins to the card. Lovely! And you can re-create this card in a a jiffy!
