Today’s tutorial is for a beautifully happy ombre card. The flowers are inked to create an ombre effect and set against ombre glimmer paper.

In the tutorial below, I take you step by step through creating the beautifully happy ombre card. I also have a supply list for purchasing anything you don’t already own (the order code for the Beautifully Happy stamp set is 160804).

Start with an A6 portrait card of Tahitian Tide. Cut a 3-7/8″ x 5-1/2″ card front layer of Basic White. Adhere three strips of 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper in Tahitian Tide down the right side of the card layer. Using Soft Succulent ink, stamp the outline single flower from the Beautifully Happy set three times onto scraps of Basic White card. Die cut each out with the Stylish Shapes circle. Using the same ink, add the solid bud to each flower. Add the stamen to each flower with Crushed Curry ink. Using Tahitian Tide ink, ink up the petals well and stamp them onto one of the flowers. Ink the stamp again and stamp normally onto the second flower, stamp again onto the third flower without reinking.

Layout the circles on the card front layer without adhering them. Stamp a sentiment from the Beautifully Happy set in between the top two circles with Tahitian Tide ink. Wrap two pieces of Tahitian Tide Metallic Woven Ribbon around the left side of the card front layer and secure on the reverse. Adhere the layer direct to the card front. Pop the stamped circles up on the card front arranging the ombre effect opposite to the ombre of the glimmer paper behind.

On the Basic White insert, using Tahitian Tide ink, stamp another sentiment from the Beautifully Happy set in the centre and the outline single flower at the base. Overstamp the petals, the sepals and bud and the stamen, all with the same ink. Add a border of the Tahitian Tide Glimmer Paper down the right side.

Thanks for stopping by.
