The Many Shades of Ombre Dreams w/Erin Blegen

Good morning!

I'm here today to share with you three different projects I created this month using the gorgeous Ombre Dreams collection! I just can't get over how beautiful these papers are, and what a delight to put them to work! There's such a beautiful array of colors available in this range that I decided to spotlight a different palette in each of my projects...

"My Boy"
I LOVE the watercolor-y washed out seashore shades in the "Ginger's Dream" paper, which I chose to use as my background for this photo of my middle child at the beach. And layered in pieces behind my photo are some more blues from the "Susan's Dream" paper.


I chose to feature the Roman Clock Set- Small on my layout as well. This set can be split up into three different clocks (along with hands); I chose the largest of the clocks, cut it in half, dabbed it with white chalk ink, and used them to really set the design of my page.

"Thoughts" Card
Next up, I went with two more fabulous papers that are predominantly purple, while offering hints of many other colors including green, blue, pink, turquoise, and more: Joyce's Dream and Dream Cards. It was very difficult not to use some mixed media on the background of this card, but I really wanted to show off the lovely delicate patterns :)

The butterfly piece you see here is from the "Tattered Butterfly" set, which features 4 butterflies in various sizes. I just love the intricate detail in this butterfly design. I decided to go with a random smattering of embossing enamel which was set with a heat gun. Embossing enamel offers a great mix of color and texture which catch the light beautifully! For even more sparkle, I added a pretty crystal to the center.

Since I had my Roman Clock pieces out, I went with one of the smaller pieces in the set here. First I painted it with a lilac shade of acrylic paint and, while still wet, dusted it with a sparkly white embossing powder to give it a pretty frosted look.

"Discover" Card
Finally, we have some orange/peach/pinks to feature! The Shannon's Dream paper is full of tropical citrus colors and dreamy floral patterns. 

The Wild Flourish Bundle chipboard piece was just what I needed to set the foundation for my cluster on this card. It was covered with a pale yellow chalk ink, embossed with clear embossing powder, and accented with some bling.

Ombre Dreams Projects - With Kelly Foster

Good morning!
Kelly here today. I have a layout and tag to share created with Ombre Dreams and some of the new chipboard designs!

"Remembering Special Moments"

For this one I paired the warm colors in my photo with the pretty orange and pinks in the "Shannon's Dream" paper. I applied all kinds of mixed media work to my background, followed by the "Wild Flourish Bundle" (cut in two and placed half in each cluster), and behind that, tucked in some of the "Mixed Chains".


All of the chipboard was first painted white, then colored with chalk inks, Inka Gold Metallic Rub, and lightly stamped.

"Be Free" Tag
For my tag base, I cut the tag shape from one of the "Dream Cards" and layered it over a piece of "Joyce's Dream" and cut around it. I cut a piece of the Number Grid - Small, and first painted it with Primary Elements Artist Pigments mixed with a clear glaze. Atop that, I painted with Silks in various colors, then adhered to my tag.


 I applied the same paints to one of the Spring Trinkets, and the little diamond pieces are off cuts from one of the panels. Everything was given a bit more color with watercolor paints and mist splatters.
