Rustic Metallic Dots Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, the attendees made this pretty autumn ombre Birthday card.

It’s a CASE of a project I’ve made previously, but I chose autumnal colours and also used different stamp sets.

The colours were Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie, with Old Olive for the stamping and card layer.

Using some offcuts of cardstock, the section to ombre was masked off. It was then coloured using Stampin’ Pads and Blending Brushes. As the name suggests, these helped to mix the colours together beautifully.

Once the masking was removed, the leaf from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set was stamped on top.

An oval was cut out of the offcuts used for masking. It was coloured at the same time as the centre section. Then, a sentiment from the Medley Mix Stamp Set was added.

Next, three strands of Linen Thread were strung across the project. The sentiment then sits on top on Mini Dimensionals.

Finally, some Rustic Metallic Dots add a subtle touch of sparkle.

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project, I used a new Bundle from the Online Exclusives range.

This is the Tropical Leaf Stamp Set and Punch Bundle.

My project is inspired by one of the pictures from the website when you view these products.

As I wanted this project to be a more neutral and suitable for anyone, I chose the greens of Garden Green, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive, with Very Vanilla.

First, the stems are stamped in Mossy Meadow. Next, a colour flare is added in Old Olive using a Blending Brush.

Large and small leaves are then stamped in a combination of first and generation stamping onto a separate piece of cardstock.

The larger leaves are cut out using the coordinating Punch from the Bundle. For the smaller leaves, these are fussy cut. They are fairly easy to cut out as they are an almost heart shape.
