Clearsnap Guest Tutorial: Ombre Letterpress Background with Pigment Inks

Hey Everyone! Hop on over to the Clearsnap Blog where I am sharing with you a tutorial on how to Create an Ombre Letterpress Background with Pigment Inks

The ColorBox® Pigment Inks are going to give you such rich colors since they are opaque and vibrant. Using Watercolor cardstock will help fool people into thinking you really did run this through a letterpress! I then trimmed up my backgrounds and added them to cards with a simple greeting. This stunning background is enough to make a friend smile when they get your card!

Supplies Used:

  • ColorBox® Pigment Refills ( Razzberry and Marigold used)
  • Watercolor Cardstock
  • Embossing Folder
  • Brayer or ColorBox Art Wheel
  • Clear Acrylic Blocks
  • Die-cut Machine

Just think of all the different cards you could create with this technique the possibilities are endless with all the options of ColorBox® Pigment Inks colors be sure to check them out!

    That Ombre Letterpress effect is very cool, Jenn. I like the colors you chose. I am surprised you didn’t pick a blue and green to make aqua in the middle! I just bought an actual gelli plate after seeing a friend use one and had some fun with it last night. I always forget about the embossing folders and don’t use them enough! This is a good way to use them more. Thanks for the inspiration and step by step method. JJ
