ombre (adjective)-having colors or tones that shade into each other
Recently I saw a card online that incorporated an ombre strip with monochromatic stamped images. Today, since it's 110° outside, I've been looking through my ideas folder for some cards to make. It's definitely too hot to go anywhere!
I tried two methods to create a mask for applying the ink. Blue painter's tape and cutting a stencil. Both work but the painter's tape pulled the top layer off a couple of pieces of cardstock. I think I achieved a sharper edge with the painter's tape when compared to my stencil though.
Using the George cartridge, I welded two rectangles and made this stencil.
I applied Memento Rhubard Stalk, Bamboo Leaves and London Fog inks with a soft sponge to the card front and then applied my stamps.
You also could just hold a piece of cardstock or scrap paper in place to create your mask, but you'll need to be sure you don't let it slip while scrubbing the inks onto the paper.
