Shadows & Shades- Laughing Lola

Have you had a chance to look at the Autumn/Winter Idea Book yet??  What's your favorite product?? 

One of the 6 new My Reflections paper packs, Laughing Lola, is the featured one in my card today!  It also features Shadows & Shades- the technique for the Heart2Heart challenge this week!


How FUN is this paper!  I love the jewel tones :)

I used the new mini stamp set: Heartfelt Birthday Wish, stamped in Black.  Then I took my Gypsy markers and colored the top and bottom of the words in the light shade and middle section with the darker shade.  I did not do this with "perfection", but I let the shades blend together :) 

I also sponged Lagoon Ink onto our Color Ready Seam Ribbon.  I did a fun technique with the yellow'ish paper- I made my own washi tape!  (I'll post a tutorial soon!!) 

So the Shadows & Shades technique is also called Ombre!  Check out this video from CTMH, where they show you how to create the Ombre look using Liquid Glass & Reinker!

Great idea to color the letters using markers like that. Will have to keep that in mind. :)

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)
