Hello and welcome to my blog today, 

Today I am showing some love for the well-loved MEANT TO BE STAMP SET and a fun ombre style #simplestamping technique using three colours from our BRIGHTS collection

Creating my own background designs for my cards has always been one of my favourite things to do and it's a great way to add your own style with colours and patterns.  For this card I have used two heart images from the MEANT TO BE STAMP SET and stamped in an ombre style, starting with the darkest colour at the top and moving down to the lightest. 

 Hello and welcome to my blog. 

The colours that I have chosen for this card design is very bright for me but I love how they compliment each other so well and for this style of birthday card are just what I was aiming for!

The images in this set really are so cute and super easy to stamp with the two-step stamping method that I demonstrate in the tutorial below.  This is made even easier with the use of the Stamparatus stamping platform
