I must have forgotten to take a better photo of the finished card, but you get the idea.
It's all about playing with blendabilities & different coloured ink (other than just Memento Black).

|
Used corner rounder on Whisper White card stock, sponged edges with coordinating ink & mounted onto coordinating card stock. |
|
Choose which way you want the images to flow (down or sideways), I choose down. Cut a strip of card stock (Basic Black) to 2 3/8" x 9 1/2". Score at 2", 2 3/4", 3 1/2", 4 1/4". |
|
Add some sticky strip to the back of each image, I put it at the top because I want them to flow down (if you want it to go sideways you will need to add the sticky strip to the side). |
|
Prefold scorelines on Black card stock. Adhere images starting at the bottom (2" scoreline) & working your way up. You want them just below the scoreline. (The navy doesn't show up very well on the black, but you should have even spacing on the sides & top). |
|
All images on the Basic Black strip of card stock. |
|
Flip over & add sticky strip at the very bottom of the black card stock . |
|
Add another piece of Basic Black card stock measuring 3/4" x 4 1/8", meeting edges together at the bottom, & centre the strip in the middle of the tab. |
|
Now it's ready to be attached to a card front. |
|
I used Stampin' Write Markers to colour the image from Cheerful Christmas to make the background. I coloured it then stamped at least three time without reinking (just breathe on it in between to make the ink go further). |
|
Colours: Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler & Old Olive. |
|
Line up the waterfall image strip on the card front, punch holes to add brads so you can secure the image strip to the card front. |
|
I found it easier to keep the card front separate from the card base up to this point. |
|
Once the card is altogether, pull down the black strip of card stock so you can punch a hole in the bottom. |
|
I ended up using a Crop-a-dile to get a better size. |
|
Add some ribbon or twine, & your all done. |
|
Just playing around with more colours. Calypso Coral ink with Calypso Coral & Blush Blendabilities. Baked Brown sugar ink with Night of Navy & colour lifter Blendabilities. I'm only showing you this photo because I liked the Calypso Coral one, but haven't gotten around to making a card out of it yet. |
|
More playing, more colours. It's just fun! |
