Big Bold Magnolias Ombre Card with Atelier Inks

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Cheryl here to show you a quick and easy card using Atelier Inks and the Big Bold Magnolias Stamp set!

Preparations:
- Cut white card stock 4.5"x 9" and then score at 4.5" to create a card base.
- Cut white card stock 4" x 4" for front panel of the card.



Around the perimeter of the card base, use the Marilyn Red Atelier Ink and a blender tool to add color to the border, you'll only need about .25" of a colored border.

Next, stamp out three to four flowers from the Big Bold Magnolia Stamp set with Juicy Clear Embossing and Watermark ink, then sprinkle some Arctic White ultra fine embossing powder over the embossing ink, tap off any excess powder, then heat set. Use the Marilyn Red and Marigold Orange Atelier Inks with a blender tool to create an ombre effect on the flowers. Fussy cut the flowers.

On the white card panel, stamp the "You're Beautiful" sentiment from the Heels to You Stamp set. I created an ombre effect by tapping Marigold Orange ink on the middle of the sentiment, then I tapped the Marilyn Red ink on the remaining un-inked portion of the stamp.

Now it's time to put the card all together! Adhere the white front panel centered on card base. Then adhere the flowers as you'd like. I put a large flower on the left, then a medium flower on the far right. I put a small magnolia bud behind the flower on the right. Then I used some foam tape to adhere the medium sized Magnolia between the other two flowers for added dimension.

First of Day School Signs/ Photo Props

Hey Everyone,

 Ilda here with you today!

I'm finally getting back into some crafting! Can't believe that the summer is almost over and my kiddies are headed back to school in a few short weeks. I know many schools have already started but I'm thankful for the late start this year :)

So today I want to share with you my latest Fleurette Bloom DT project. 

First day of school signs I made for my kids. I will be using them to take photos of them when they head back to school. (I'll post those pics when they happen). They are super simple to make and put together!

Here is what you will need to make your own:

Fonts:
Chalk Hand Lettering
Return to Sender
Travelling Typewriter

SVG Files:
Apple & Pencil - from School Days Kit - files were grouped together and resized.
The apple was then added to the top of the sign and grouped on to the top circle layer of the tag file. Then both the finished circle (sign) and pencil were just print and cut using the Silhouette Cameo.
Tag file (from coffee mug) - from Valentine Be Mine SVG Kit - Enlarged and cut (bottom layer only).

Paper:
Recollections card stock for the Print and Cut.
The bottom layer paper comes from the Simple Stories - Smarty Pants Paper Pack.

To Assemble:
Glue top 3 layers of the sign together, I used my ATG tape runner for that.
Attach the top of the pencil to the bottom of the sign with some glue.
To the back of the pencil, I glued a Popsicle stick. This adds strength to the paper and something for the kids to hold on to. Add a ribbon to the handle and embellish as you like ;)

For those of you that are visual people like me,
here is a video that I filmed while putting one of the signs together. Enjoy and if you haven't yet subscribe! I'm going to try an film more future projects ;)

Hope this post isn't too late for you, and it inspires you to make some of your own back to school First day signs!

For a limited time, you can get the School Days collection AND the ABC and 123 digi paper pack FREE with a purchase of $8.98 or more at Fleurette Bloom! So get them while you can :)
