LeAnne has a fabulous challenge this week:-
I was totally inspired by LeAnne's awesome design last week, which featured diagonal sentiment stamping. So I have really put my sentiment to work on this card, using it as both the main element & the background:-
I've kept the layout really clean & simple, using only skinny mats & a single rhinestone to embellish my card. The sentiment panel is popped up on dimensionals.
To get the tonal graduation in the stamping, I used the trusty stampamajig & four shades of blue ink. I alternated lines of stamping in a solid colour with lines of stamping that had the bottom half of the sentiment inked in the next darkest colour.
We hope you can play along with us this week. Make sure you visit all the team for some fabulous inspiration:-

Wow! This is sensational, Helen! What patience to stamp all those images so carefully. Hugs xxx
Oh my gosh! Love how you used this stamp!!! I am not good lining things up...even with the SAMJ! This turned out wonderfully!!!
This looks wonderful Helen. love the gradual grading of colours and the very clever effect of the patern. xxx
That graduated background is FABulous Helen!! That must have taken some serious quality time with your stamp-a-ma-jig lol!
Ooh, I do like the 'tonal grading' and the rhinestone, my friend. Who would've guessed if you made a monochromatic card, that it'd be in blue?! Looks great!
... and that'd be 'tonal graduation', not grading!
Oh my wordy wordy! This is awesome done with such 'Helen' creativity. We really must have a stamping day again. When are you coming back over? :)
Simply brilliant Helen. Love the colour change & the diagonal stamping. You're now also the SAMJ queen too! Hugs. D
What can I say but "WOW"!! I would never have thought to use a sentiment this way - fabulous Helen ♥
WOW! So glad I inspired you to get out that SAMJ and try this stamped background! IT ROCKS! This was exactly what I had in mind for this CAS challenge---and in my favorite colors--BLUES! Yippee!
