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. :)
