Ombre Technique With Metal Craft Sheets

Today’s Dazzling Diva Design Challenge was the Ombre Technique. (See inspiration photo below.)  I wanted to use Add A Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets to do the technique. I also like to incorporate several challenges into my cards, if possible.  This one qualified for several – Yay!  I will be posting a video tutorial tomorrow.  Subscribe to my YouTube Channel to be notified when it posts. 🙂

• Cut a piece of Chocolate Chip Cardstock (#102128) at 5″ x 10″.
• Score and fold at 5″.
• Cut a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock (#101650) at 4-7/8″ x 4-7/8″.

• Cut a piece of Dark Chocolate Craft Metal Sheet at 2″ x 4-7/8″.
• Cut a piece of Precious Pearl Craft Metal Sheet at 2″ x 4-7/8″.
• Emboss each of the three pieces of 2″ x 4-7/8″ using the Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder (#130917) and the Big Shot (#113439).
• Using Sticky Strip (#104294), attach the three pieces onto the Very Vanilla Cardstock, overlapping them.
• Adhere a piece of Very Vanilla Seam Binding (#120999) to the front of the piece you just created – attaching it behind the cardstock using Glue Dots (#103683).

• Stamp “A million & one Thanks” from the Million & One Stamp Set (wood #126375/clear #126377) in Chocolate Chip Ink (#126979) onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and emboss with Clear Embossing Powder (#109130) and a Heat Tool (#129053).
• Cut out the greeting using the #4 Window Frames Framelit Die (#129021) (numbering from outside to inside).
