Ombre Ink Blending

 


Ombre or Gradient Ink Blending

This Warm Wishes card was inked with one set of blue inks. The blue really stands out on the shimmery white background. Here's how to create this: 

1. Apply pearl shimmer relief paste to a white card stock panel. Let dry completely. 
2. Run shimmery panel through a snowflake embossing folder.
3. Die cut various sizes of snowflakes and ink blend with darker at center. Use darker and ligher inks on various snowflakes for contrast. 
4. Die cut mug and ink blend the top layer dark to light. The handle is a bottom layer in blue cardstock. 
5. Cut the sentiment and ink blend dark to light. 
6. Apply sequins in center of stacked snowflakes to add more shine. 


Supplies:

Altenew Layered Snowflakes 2 dies, Northen Shore Dye ink set, Shimmer Relief Paste in Pearl, Layered Snowflakes 3D embossing folder, Warm & Cozy sentiments die, My Favorite Mugs die.
