Rainbow Ombre background with Atelier Inks!

Hi Everyone, it's Cheryl here to show you how to make a cheerful card that's bound to brighten up anyone's day!

First I used the Inkon3 Atelier Inks to make a diagonal rainbow background! I just did this freehand so I can get a slight gradient effect when I transitioned to the next color. Look at how vibrant the colors are!

I cut out a scalloped rectangle and scalloped circle, then I embossed the scalloped rectangle using an embossing plate. I also cut out a small flag and used the Marilyn Red Atelier Ink to "dye" the paper. Next, I stamped and fussy cut some of the images from the Lil Chicks stamp set. I used the Atelier Inks as water-coloring inks to color the images! Even watered down a bit, the colors are so vibrant!

Once the red flag was dried, I stamped the "You're EGG-STRA-SPECIAL" sentiment using an embossing ink and then sprinkled some Arctic White Ultra Fine embossing powder over the stamped sentiment and heat set the embossing powder.

I assembled the card by first adhering the large scalloped rectangle to the rainbow card base, then added the little chickie and then the rest of the stamped images on the top and bottom of the circle. Lastly, I adhered the red flag on the bottom left of the card.

There you have it! A nice, clean, and simple card that's super duper adorable!

Here are projects that I've created as inspiration using the November 2019 Kit! This kit is all about reading, it comes with a bookmark die set, and some really cool reading themed decorative dies like a bookshelf with books, and a reading lamp! For the stamps there's a set of critters which includes a hippo, an owl, and a bunny. Then for the Marci stamp it's a Marci with glasses all cozy with a book!

For my first project, I made a card using the bookmark die as a background. I chose different colors as a backdrop for each critter from the One more Chapter Stamp set. I then cut out the "I <3 Books" and used red paper behind it. The patterned craft paper is from the Christmas Hodge Podge Paper Pack!

First project is a card using the Warm Hugs Marci and the Mountains die. I did some no-line coloring and love the softness! I really love the look I got from layering of the Simple Joys and Shine Bright background stamps! They're a little pricey but totally worth it to always have enough patterned cardstock that perfectly coordinates with the rest of your project! I'm going to try using the background stamps in my planner soon! ;)

I've been wanting to practice No-Line Coloring so I did just that with the Winter Piggies. I made some gift tags using the Large Stitched Tags Die. I used the Mountain and Lakes die that came with the kit to create the fun winter scene in each tag. At first I was going to leave the larger tag white, but then I decided to use the snowman and some of the sentiments in the kit to make a simple patterned background.

By the way, have you bought any La-La Land Crafts Designer Paper Packs yet? They're Amazing! They're 80-lb. double sided paper with a semi-gloss finish. The snow flake and diamond patterned papers are from the Christmas Hodgepodge paper pack. They're not available on the website yet, but it's a really cool winter paper pack with a pretty big range of color schemes! I was lucky enough to be able to buy this paper pack at the Sacramento Stamp and Scrapbook Expo at La-La Land Craft's booth!
