Playtime ...

 Hi Everybody,

For these two cards I used the Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide Ink and a blending brush to create an Ombre Effect on my cards.

Once I had done that I ran the panels through my embossing folders, this one is the Perfect Rose folder, and I used a different one for each card. 

With the raised side of the card uppermost I then used the same brush and ink to go over it again but this time with a heavier hand.

That picks up all the raised areas and makes them stand out more on the card front.

I used items left over from other cards that had been cut in white and with foam tape I added them to the card panel.

The orange sequins have been added for effect, and the card bases are both from one A4 piece that has been folded and then cut in half.

For this one I did the same technique with the ink for the background and then used the Trellis folder for this card.

I again brushed over the raised side with my blending brush and it made the pattern stand out on the panel.

The sentiment is from the large Decorative Words die set which I cut three times and stacked together for a really sturdy stand out look. 

Again I have dotted sequins on the front and I am really happy with both of the cards. 

Quick and easy, clean and simple ... for me any way !!

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
