Rainbow with Gradation/Ombre Stamping

Hello friends!! It’s Channin here and today I’m sharing one of my favorite MISTI techniques, gradation/ombre stamping!! I use this technique to create a beautiful fading rainbow background featuring stamps and dies from Pinkfresh Studio. 

To create this card I first stamped the background using the Pop Out: Diagonal Stripes Cling Stamp Set. I started with the #6 stripe stamp and inked it up with Coral Reef ink and stamped it onto a 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” panel of white cardstock. I then partially inked up two thirds of the same stamp in Passion Fruit, a slightly darker red ink and stamped the stripe again. I then finished the stripe by partially inking and stamping the last third of the stamp in Berrylicious ink. I repeated this process for stripes 7-13 using three different inks (a light, medium, and dark) for each color of the rainbow. 

Once I had finished stamping the background I then cropped the panel down to an A2 panel and adhered it to the front of an A2 top-folding white card base. I then created a thin white rectangle frame using nesting rectangle dies and adhered the frame to the card front.

Next, I die cut a sentiment out of vellum and white cardstock using the Love You the Most Die. I then adhered the white letters onto the vellum shadow layer and then adhered the sentiment to the card front with foam adhesive. Lastly, I stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment from the Simply Sentiments: Hello Stamp Set onto gray cardstock, trimmed the sentiment down to a stripe and adhered to the card front with foam adhesive. 

I hope you enjoyed my card! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Watercolor Roses with Karen Reategui

Hello friends, I'm so happy to be here today sharing this watercolor card that I made using products from Picket Fence Studios and my original MISTI.

Let's start! With the help of my original MISTI I stamped the Watercolor Roses stamp using Black Hybrid ink onto an A2 watercolor panel.  

Then, using a watercolor brush I applied Jane Davenport Watercolors. Also, I added some splatters of metallic gold ink from Hero Arts around the panel using a fan brush.

Once my panel was dry, I stamped my sentiment from the same Watercolor Roses Stamp using my MISTI and the Black Hybrid ink from Picket Fence Studios.

I trimmed down my panel a little bit and I adhered a panel of Neenah Desert Storm plus a white card base at the back. As a final touch I added some Autumn Leaves Gem Mixes from Picket Fence Studios and this card was done.

I hope you like this card and give this a try. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, please have a wonderful day and you will find the list of supplies below.

Your friend, Karen

 

Muted Floral Card with Channin

Hello friends! It's Channin here and today I have a soft and muted floral card to share. For today’s card I use the beautiful Floral Focus Cling Stamp and stencils to create my background and then finish my card with a foiled sentiment. 

To create this card I first stamped a sheet of white cardstock with the Floral Focus Cling Stamp in Warm Buff Ink. After I stamped the image I then ink blended to add color using the Floral Focus Layering Stencils and several Pinkfresh inks (Warm Buff, Doe, Peach Fuzz, Ballet Slipper & Coral Reef). 

Once I finished coloring the background, I then trimmed the panel down to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and adhered it to the front of an A2 top-folding white card base. 

Next, I hot foiled my sentiment in silver onto white cardstock using the You Sparkle Hot Foil Plate. I then die cut the sentiment out with the matching die and then die cut it out two more times out of scrap cardstock. I then adhered all the die cuts together to create a stacked sentiment. Lastly, I finished my card by adhering the sentiment to the card front. 

I hope you enjoyed my card! Thank you so much for stopping by!
