Make Your Own Purple Ombre Faux Silk and the Simply Succulent Bundle

I love texture. I love the rich look of saturated colors. But when I can add a dimensional texture to my card, I’m over the moon! Today’s photo/video tutorial will make you feel like you actually have raw silk fabric at your finger tips. Even better? It’s OMBRE! Glue + paper + ink + Water Painters… = gorgeous color and texture.

Pretty, right? I won’t say this technique is ‘easy,’ but it is pretty quick and not nearly the mess that you’d think from looking at the supplies. Plus I’ve got some really excellent tips in the video for keeping your fingers out of the glue and away from the ink.

How to Create the Ombre Faux Silk Background Technique:

  1. Crumple tissue paper that’s at least 1″ larger than your base layer.
  2. Add a thin coating of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to cover your entire base layer. Working on a Silicone Mat will prevent your paper from sticking to your work surface.
  3. Partially smooth out the tissue.
  4. Apply to the glued paper, tapping down to attach in all places.
  5. Use the Water Painter ***(I love these! Watch the video for tips on loving them, too). Wet the entire page with water by brushing back and forth.
  6. Use the coordinating Ink Refill to add 3 dots of color at the dark end of the ombre paper.
  7. Using the Water Painter (again, this is the perfect tool for this technique), brush back and forth and gradually move the ink up towards the lighter end. Again, extra tips for this in the video tutorial below.
  8. Continue to move ink from the darker end to the lighter end until desired depth of color is achieved. Let dry or speed drying with a Heat Tool.

Decorate as desired! I used the Simply Succulents Bundle (stamps and dies) because the rich purple is perfect to complement the purple and greens in some of the succulent varieties. Lots of fun for coloring with the Stampin’ Blends Markers to match – and again, more tips for those in the video tutorial.
