Stampin' Up! Fine Feathers Gradient Color!
March 09, 2013
Good Morning! It's a great weekend to stamp, isn't it? Back in January I found a card with this technique, Gradient Color, in a crafting magazine and couldn't wait to give it a try. It was stamped with a feather stamp from another company, so when Leadership attendees were given a list of free stamps to choose from as part of the Make & Take gift, I was thrilled to see Fine Feathers on it!

It's a pretty simple technique, requiring only stamps, ink, and paper! The beauty is in the stamping, pure Stampin' Up! at its' best!
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013
I used the Occasions set, Amazing Family, for the greeting and inner phrase, and three Classic inkpads in Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo, and Garden Green.
To stamp Gradient Color:
Ink stamp in lightest color, Tempting Turquoise for this sample.

Without stamping on cardstock, ink a portion of the same inked stamp on the next color, Island Indigo.

Stamp cardstock.

Clean stamp on a Stampin' Scrub or a baby wipe before reinking stamp on lighter color again.

To achieve the gradient color look, ink stamp again with Island Indigo first, then ink in Garden Green. stamp on cardstock and admire your Gradient Color look!
That's it! Just ask if you have any questions!
Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
