Ep 530: Color MAGIC, Inking for Ombre Stamped Images with Stampin’ Up!®’s Friends of the Ocean Suite

You already know I shore-ly love the Friends of the Ocean Suite with its gorgeous colors. But I have more FABULOUS news for you! If you're a color fan like me, then you're going to want to pull out your Blending Brushes and create custom colored ombre sea creatures with the 2 step Ocean Friends stamp set. And let's make it extra fun with a Reverse Panel Fun Fold Card.

This card is one of the Card Kits 'To Go' for the LovenStamps Monthly Tutorials in February (details below).

The ombre inking process is like magic. Think of it as adding color, removing a little color, then adding back more color in a different shade. Here are a few of my favorite color combinations:
Peach Pie - Pumpking Pie
Flirty Flamingo - Calypso Coral
Petal Pink - Melon Mambo* (for bonus points add in some Peach Pie!)

For a little extra texture, use the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder. You don't even have to texture the whole card. Try this trick to cut a panel, add texture and then adhere to the card base.
