The card above uses the Fresh Chevron background. I created an Ombre' effect by applying three colors of stains directly to the stamp:
The first color was applied to the top 1/3 of the stamp, directly to the rubber.
The next color was applied to the center portion, direct to stamp.
The final color was added to the bottom 1/3 of the stamp.
Spray the stamp lightly with water and stamp onto watercolor paper. Use a heat tool to dry piece fully.
The focal point of the stamp is a new November stamp called Doxie's Guilt Trip. I just think it is the cutest stamp! I added a ribbon around Doxie's neck and added the Merry Christmas 2 stamp so the Doxie can help us celebrate the season!
Don't forget that the Christmas sale has been extended to November 12th -- 20% off all Christmas stamps! Use the word Christmas at checkout for your discount.
I hope you have enjoyed the hop today. Don't forget to go to the Technique Junkies website to get your 15% off of the November stamps!
