Have you been hearing alot about Ombre lately?? Ombre seems to be THE next big thing in fashion & scrapbooking trends. A lot of manufacturers have been showcasing Ombre trends & techniques. What is Ombre? Basically it is different tones or colours that shade into each other. I have used Ombre to alter the gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard title Love Cherish Adore. Here is a quick little step by step on how to get THE look of the season!

First start by painting your title with gesso. This gives it a good base & stops your ink colours from seeping into the chipboard.

Choose 3 colours of inks, paints, mists or pan pastels that compliment each other. I chose pink (top shade) lilac (middle shade) & yellow (bottom shade)You will need a light & dark shade of your top & bottom colour. EG I have used a light pink, a dark pink, a light yellow & a dark yellow.

I used a combination of pan pastels & inks. Sassy Scrapper has a gorgeous range of Prima Ingvild Bolme chalk fluid edgers here or Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Inks here which are perfect to use!

Ink the top of 'Love' with a light pink going 3/4's of the way down as you can see in the picture. Ink the remaining 1/4 with lilac.

Ink all of 'Cherish' with lilac

Ink the top 1/4 of 'Adore' with lilac. Ink the remaining 3/4's with light yellow.

Use the dark pink & ink half way over the light pink so now you have 3 colours on 'Love' Dark pink, Light pink the Lilac

Use the dark yellow & hink half way over the light yellow so now you have 3 colours on 'Adore' Lilac, Light Yellow & Dark Yellow

Cover all 3 words in some Glimmer Glam or Glossy Accents for a nice shimmer finish

Prima Meadow Lark Step by Step

Hi There!

I'm Shell Carman. I am so happy to be guest designing for Sassy Scrapper!!
I met Olga online a couple of months ago & she invited me to GDT for August. It turns out Sassy Scrapper is actually only 20mins up the road from me. How convenient is that!

I have been scrapping for about 5 years now. My style is vintage/shabby chic. I prefer to create girly pages & I am ADDICTED to flowers!! Some of my fav brands are Prima, Websters Pages, Graphic 45, Glitz Designs & My Minds Eye.

I blog here

Olga put together some gorgeous Prima Meadow Lark goodies for me to play with. Today I would like to share my second layout I created with a step by step!

First up take a sheet of Prima Meadow Lark Windsong to use as your background.

Cut a piece of white cardstock 9.5"X10.5". Punch a border along the top & bottom. Stick this in the centre

Take the sheet of Prima Meadow Lark Floralee. Fussy cut the gentle beauty bird circle & put this to the side. Cut a piece 12"X4.5". Stick this in the centre of the white cardstock

Cut your photo using a 4" cirlce. Cut a photo mat from Kaisercraft Lollypop Weave 4.5" circle. I have used a 6" paper doily but you could use a 6" plain circle, scallop circle or die cut. Stick these altogether on top of the Floralee paper sitting slightly to the right side (don't stick all the way down just yet as you will need to do the next step first)

I have used a Cheery Lyn Doily 4" die but you could use paper doilies, 4"circle, scallop circle etc X2 from the Prima Meadow Lark Chloe sheet. Stick these diagonally on the top left & bottom right corner of you centre circle

Take out some of your chipboard pieces (I have used the large bunch of flowers with the yellow background & the single pink flower with the yellow background & a bird) Stick the larger chipboard piece on the left side of the top circle & the bird beside that. Stick the smaller chipboard piece on the right side of the centre circle. Take the pink chipboard banner piece & stick your title on using the Prima Meadow Lark alphas. Stick this under the large flower chipboard piece.
Stick the pearl bling flourish (LUV this!!!) underneath the title

Stick a Prima Kennedy Rosette flower, A Kaisercraft bloom & Green Tara Rose underneath the bird.

Stick a Prima Meadow Lark Vinetta, Prima Kennedy Rosette, Kaisercraft bloom & Manor House Creations sprinkles flower on the right hand side overlapping both the centre & bottom circle

Take the fussy cut bird circle from earlier & use some foam tape to stick underneath the flowers on the right hand side

Use the purple ribbon with the white pattern. Cut X2 lengths 9.5". Stick these just underneath the punched border on the white cardstock
Take 2 chipboard word pieces (I have used sweet & laughter ) Stick sweet on the top left side overlapping the large flower chipboard piece & bird. Stick laughter on the right side overlapping the Vinetta flower
Finish off with some Liquid pearl. I have used this around my circles/doilies & aloing my punched border
