I’m thrilled to be a guest designer for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers latest Challenge #130 – Ombre. How many Ombre elements can I fit on one card? At least four as it turns out.
Images
- Stamped Altenew Layered Cupcake images onto Neenah Solar White cardstock. As there are 2-3 layers for each part of the image I used Altenew Green Meadows, Cherry Blossom and Coffee Break mini ink cubes – Ombre element 1.
- Diecut with matching die.

Other items
- Ink blend the three lightest Cherry Blossom inks over three pieces of Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock (super easy to blend on) – Ombre element 2.
- Using Concord & 9th Bags and Tags die set, diecut edge of each of the pieces of cardstock.
- Cut down to size for your card base.
Sentiment
- Stamp out the banner and sentiment using Concord & 9th Here’s the Scoop stamp set.
- The pole for the banners is the straw stamp in the same set and watercoloured using the same Altenew Inks listed in Image section. Perfect to add Ombre element – Ombre element 3.

Background
- Ink blend Distress Oxide Ink Tea Dye over Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock.
- Using the circle stamps in the Layered Cupcake stamp set randomly stamp over background in the Coffee Break ink cube colours to create an ombre look – Ombre element 4.
FINISHING
- Using ATG adhere background to card base.
- Adhere pink tablecloth cardstock in layers with foam tape.
- Adhere cupcakes and banners with foam tape to add dimension (see closeup above).
- Using darkest of the pink inks ink blend around the bottom edge of the card base.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
