Ombre Blending with Decorative Masks
Have you seen the Decorative Masks by Stampin’ Up?
Creating textured backgrounds is so easy. Use with Embossing Paste and Palette Knives or Classic Stampin’ Ink.
For these cards, I used the Ombre Blending Technique with one of the four decorative mask found in the Basic Patterns pack.

Here’s How:
- To create a space for the greeting, cut a 1/2″ wide piece out of a post-it-note. Be sure to include the sticky part of the post-it-note as part of your strip. That way, the piece will be held in place while you create the ombre effect. Place the strip on your card front.
- Place a decorative mask over the card front securing it in place with pieces of washi or painter’s tape.
- With a blending brush, add your first color over the decorative mask. For this card, my first color was Mango Melody.
- Add a second color. My second color was Calypso Coral. Continue adding a third color. My third color was Polished Pink.
- Remove the mask and post-it-note. Stamp greeting. I used the thank you greeting from Sweet Strawberry using Polished Pink.
- Attach card front to Mango Melody mat. Attach to Whisper White card base.
- To add a little bling, I colored two 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to complete.
