One of the first "artsy" things I learned to do stamping was to use paint swatches. They are the perfect way to achieve an ombre effect easily. I used a swatch of sunny yellows for this lemon themed card. The stamps are from Flourishes, stamped in black with some gel dots as an accent. (I do think the ink may be smudging, so next time I will use Stazon instead of Memento).
This card is for these challenges:
Simon Says Monday -- Citrus with a twist
Sister Act #120 -- anything goes
Word Art Wednesday #197 -- anything goes
Rubber stamping, stamping, papercrafting and other projects from a writer by trade, stamper by passion.

ReplyDeletePaint swatches seem to making a comeback. I remember people picking up just huge handfuls of them from the store... seemed so dishonest to me. Anyway, LOVE this card and its bright yellow happiness. I couldn't see painting anything in my house with it though.
