Create with Connie and Mary! Ombre Style!

One of the things I like to do when we get a batch of new In Colors is pair them up in an Ombre style to see how they work with our existing colors. I created FIVE layouts that feature each new In Color with color strips. This is the easiest way to showcase these colors in an ombre fashion. And while these are scrapbook pages, you can easily use the same method to create a card! This weeks Create with Connie and Mary challenge was OMBRE so these page designs worked out perfectly!

All of these pages are created using 5 colors, the All Things Fabulous Bundle, Water Painters, a Stamp-a-ratus and the Playful Alphabet dies with the Foam Adhesive Sheets.

This first page features the following colors: Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, Pacific Point, Seaside Spray and Balmy Blue.

The flowers are stamped using the All Things Fabulous stamp set with the aid of my Stamp-a-ratus and 3 ink colors. I used Seaside Spray, Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight in that order.

I used the smallest brush tip of the new Water Painters to flick a spray of Misty Moonlight ink over the page and repeated this technique on each page with the coordinating In Color.

I love how bright and fun this page and how my lululemon sweatshirt coordinates! In fact that is a theme in ALL OF MY PAGES :).

This page features Magenta Madness and the colors Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Rococco Rose and Blushing Bride. The flowers are stamped in Blushing Bride, Rococco Rose and Magenta Madness in that order. I love having the ability to create my own fun titles using the Playful Alphabet dies and the Foam Adhesive Sheets. No one else is going to scrapbook me, so I have to keep my own memories!

I love this ombre green combo! I used Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Just Jade, Mint Macaroon, and Pool Party and the flowers are stamped in Pool Party, Mint Macaroon, and Just Jade in that order.

Look! Another coordinating outfit! Haha! I had so much fun finding pictures and creating these pages to have on display in my craft room. This page features Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake and Sahara Sand. The colors are stamped in Crumb Cake, Cinnamon Cider and Soft Suede in that order.

You may also notice that there are two ribbons on each of my pages! It was so easy to find coordinating ribbons as there are so many fabulous options in our new catalogue.

I saved my favourite for last. Even my kids had a good laugh over my title! This page features the ‘yellows’ and starts with Mango Melody, Crushed Curry, Bumblebee, Daffodil Delight and So Saffron. The flowers are stamped in So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and Bumbleebee in that order.

I hope these pages have inspired you to play around with our color families to create your own ombre looks!
