In Episode 238 we looked at the new Slim Card Dies – perfect for this trending card format. We also used the Simply Marbleous DSP, available through Sale-a-bration, but today we’re adding an ombre effect and a truly funny greeting from the Bragworthy stamp set. I’ll review two ways to get the ombre background (hint: only one uses Blending Brushes) and two ways to attach the detailed Slim Card die cut (hint: only one uses Multipurpose Liquid Glue) so you can decide what YOUR best methods will be.
But first, don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card! This greeting from Sunny Sentiments stamp set is a terrific complement.
I love the way these products come together to create a fabulous finished ‘fancy’ effect.
For the front of my card, the video tutorial gives the most detail on how I created the ombre effect before die cutting, but here are the two methods in progress:
- (Top photo below) Use the Direct to Paper method – slide your ink pad along the cardstock to rub ink directly from the pad onto your paper.
- (Bottom photo below) Use Blending Brushes to add ink to your paper.
