Hello, beautiful friends! I have a lot of graduation cards to make this year and the new Shine Bright Word Die (available on Tuesday if you’re a StampNation member or Wednesday for General Ordering) is perfect for such a card, as well as so much more. If you love making congratulatory and encouragement cards, you’ll definitely need this die. The script is so beautiful and one of the best I’ve seen!
I originally started with four ink colours but I couldn’t resist using lots of ombre stamping and ink blending so that required additional shades of those colours. I used Skylight, Daydream and Juniper Mist on the mountains, Sweet Sixteen and Pixie Dust on the clouds, and Catching Rays, Orange Peel and Mandarin Spice on the sun.
To create the gradient colour on the die cut G-R-A-D using the recently-released Block Alphabet Dies, I used blending brushes and Melon Ice and Daydream next to each other and die cut the letters from that ink blended piece of cardstock. The smaller scripted words are from the Today Sentiments Stamp Set and I stamped my custom sentiment using Daydream and Juniper Mist.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ll see you again tomorrow for the next April Showers Bring bundle reveal! All new release products will be available to StampNation members on Tuesday, April 13, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. and General Ordering starts Wednesday, April 14, 2021 at 9:00 a.m.
