LIMES - Merry Ornaments

Nov 1

Written By Ardyth Percy-Robb

Welcome to this week's LIMES inspiration post!

I chose this card as my inspiration from the gallery of this week’s Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper:

LIST: Colours (white, pink, yellow, orange, red) , Techniques (die cutting, stamping) , Elements (hearts on vertical ‘strings’ on the left side, white open space on right side, stamped sentiment in bottom right corner)

INCLUDE: red, white, ‘strings’, pattern on left, white space on right

MODIFY: stenciled ornaments instead of die cut hearts, die cut sentiment in a different position

EXCLUDE: hearts,

SPIN: added 3 silver dot embellishments

I created lots of ‘dimension’ and ‘shine’ on my ornaments by inkblending around the edge of each ornament shape on the stencil, leaving a highlight in the centre. I used Rouge as a base for all of the ornaments, and added Sauna, Flirty Fuchsia and Party Dress to some of them, to create different shades of red.
