This technique had me at red.
Hello Everybody!
Today I am sharing the third card I made in the same technique as THESE cards.
This technique is very trendy now and is so easy to apply that I made three cards just in no time.
Did I say trendy? Yes! Because it combines three latest things in Clean and Simple card making - red card base for Christmas cards, dramatic ink blending and colouring of a focal image in a spotlight.
Today I am sharing the third card I made in the same technique as THESE cards.

Did I say trendy? Yes! Because it combines three latest things in Clean and Simple card making - red card base for Christmas cards, dramatic ink blending and colouring of a focal image in a spotlight.
To make this card:
- Heat emboss the sentiment from Reverse Confetti Jolly Holiday set in fine white powder onto a red card note
- Then stamp down a reindeer from the same set in red dye ink and colour it with Polychromos pencils
- Blend Aged Mahogany Distress ink onto the card front
- Next distress the edges with Black Soot ink
- To finish off the card make splatters with a gold paint and heat set them.
Why Do I Like The Red Ombre Technique?
- It is easy to blend inks on coloured card stock
- Just two shades of inks create a dramatic look
- Blending inks around edges is less tiring for hands than covering a card panel completely
- An image and a sentiment pop up in a spotlight
