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. :)

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 ...
