Quick Ombre Notecards

Hello all! Today I'm participating in the Hero Arts December 2017 My Monthly Hero Arts blog hop - last MMH of the year, folks! ;)

There's tons of awesome goodies in the main kit and the add-ons, but I kinda ran away with one particular add-on - the beautiful Henna Flower Pattern stamp.


These cards are so flippin' fast and pretty, it's ridiculous! The beautiful Hero Arts Ombre inks make these cards a cinch!


My first card was stamped with Peach, Orange and Pink Ombre inks, and the sentiment is from the classic Thanks Stamp and Cut.


The next card was stamped with PurpleHydrangea and Pink Ombre.


The sentiment is from the Congrats Stamp and Cut - I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in White powder on Black cardstock. I then die cut the top sentiment from black foam that had adhesive on one side already and adhered it on top.

If you don't have craft foam and you still wanted the sentiment to have some dimension, you could die cut the sentiment several times from black cardstock and adhere the layers together.


The final card was stamped in Mermaid, Hydrangea, and Mint Ombre, with a sentiment from Happy Stamp and Cut.


Each card has a few pearls to top off the mandala.


While it was easy and quick enough to stamp each front individual, you could easily mass-produce them by stamping the Henna Flower Pattern all over a piece of letter - or 8.5x11in - cardstock and then cut out four card fronts in one go!

If you're already subscribed, or you're going to purchase the kit, you can add this stamp (and any other stamps!) to your order without any extra shipping fee!
