Fun Ombre Backgrounds with Stencils + Video

Hi crafty friends! It’s Mona here, today I am sharing with you a fun, ombre color blocking technique. If you need lots of cards at once, then this bulk cardmaking tutorial is for you!

For these cards I have used these beautiful Spring Florals Stencils, the Spring Eggs stamp and coordinating die set as well as the Fancy Easter Script die. I prepared heavyweight cardstocks in different colors and shades for the ombre monochromatic look. Once it was done, I made dry embossing with one of the stencils from the set. You can find this process in the video.

Next, wanted to add an elegant touch to the dry embossed base with the gold glitz glitter gel. First, I am spraying pixie spray on the stencil. This will keep the stencil on its right place, and I can reuse the stencil many times.

When the last cardstock is done, I am letting them air dry for one hour. I am washing the stencil and the tools with soapy water immediately and the stencil looks like a new again.

While the glitter gel background dries, I created the Happy Easter Sentiment from a white heavy weight cardstock and adhered 3 pieces together to have a heavy chipboard looking sentiment.

Because this is going to be an easter card, for me eggs are a mandatory part. I am going to use this beautiful Spring Eggs Stamp set with its coordinating dies. I am going to stamp these eggs with VersaMark watermark ink to a piece of vellum with the help of my MISTI. Next, I am heat embossing it with gold fine embossing powder and a heat gun. I am in love with them and they look so amazing without coloring too.

Now I have everything to put together my cards. In the end I embellished my cards with Pearl White Jewels as well as Sparkling Clear Sequin Mix too. With the leftover cardstock I have created a slimline card as well.

Thank you so much for stopping by. See you next time.

Hugs, Mona
