Today I am sharing my take on a card I cased from Andrea Walford that uses color gradation.
Two things that are essential in the creation of this card. A good Stamp-a-ma-jig and a solid image border type stamp like Dotty Angles. Take a look at another sample.
This card uses the Chalk Lines Stamp Set and of course the Stamp-a-ma-jig. It is also very important to attach the card stock you are stamping on securely to your grid paper. I used some dotto adhesive from my stash. If you don't have ditto, you can use a Two-Way Glue Pen and just let it dry before placing your card stock on it. It will be tacky but not like adhesive and your card stock will stay put.
One more look at each card from another view.
Notice that a row or two on each card is stamped with 2 colors of ink to create a third color. I like the rainbow effect. What do you think? Please leave me a comment with your thoughts on this technique. I love to hear from you!
Hugs,
Ginger

YOU continue to amaze me! This is so cool! I have seen these before but never really paid much attention to the details. The angles one really shows the colors but I still like the hearts for the layers. The bold black for the sentiments are perfect – the banner with the white embossing looks so good with the framelit words. Great and fun look. Rhinestones just complete the look.
Two super cute cards, Ginger!
I knew nothing about this technique until reading your Blog. This looks precise, maybe even tedious. It is a nice look. Have questions. Chris is right you do continue to amaze me.
Wow, I agree with Chris!! I love the angle card because it is bright and playful! The heart card is nice and I would use it. You do outstanding work! I look forward to your blog!
