Today’s video has a very easy technique. I wanted to create an Ombre style background and thought it would make sense to share how I did it with you.
I created this card for Altenew and used the Print Blocks Stamp Set in the background, you can watch the process in the video linked below.
I just ‘had’ to use the Build-A-Flower: Peruvian Lily and I can’t wait to try this out in some different colour combos. I did add a simple sentiment from the Thinking of You Stamp Set (it’s a classic)!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Love this, Therese. The warm grey inks by Altenew are among my favourite inks.
Gorgeous card! That flower is lovely and the way you colored it and arranged it makes all the more beautiful! You make it look so easy to line it up, too.
Your card is stunning ! I love the soft background, it’s a fantastic idea. And this layering stamps is incredible, your flower looks so real…..
Thanks so much for giving us the perfect colors for the Peruvian !ily. I love this flower and bought the set soon after it came out. I played with it but was not happy with the colors so will be trying the ones you used. Your color scheme is perfect!
I so enjoy watching your videos. This Peruvian Lilly is such a stunner. I love the color scheme you chose for it, and that you stamped leaves as well as die cut them. I really like that affect. Great design as always.
I recently purchased this stamp set but haven’t inked it up yet. This is a beautiful colour combination that I will have to try and match with other inks, as I don’t have very many of the Altenew inks yet. Thanks for sharing!
Very pretty colors for this card.
Smart way of getting ombre effort. I would definitely try. The card looks stunning.
Such a beautiful card! Love the soft look and the simple design 🙂 The Peruvian Lily flower is super pretty! 🙂
Beautiful, the backdrop adds such a nice touch.
Oh Therese, your gorgeous flower just pops with that beautiful and soft background.
These layering stamps are amazing, love the colors on your card.
Thank you for sharing this video and for the chance to win.

PS. Thank you for answering my question about the MISTI magnets, 😉
WOW!!!
SUPER gorgeous card!!
LOVE it!!
I love the blending on the stamp idea. You always have the best, most ingenious ideas that seem to simplify things. Beautiful card, again.
The colors you used really bring the lily to life, Therese.
thank you for the video! so much fun to learn new things! i need to get stamping!
love how you created the ombre bakground for your gorgeous lily – so pretty and elegant!
Stunning. The background sets off the flower perfectly. I love Peruvian Lillies and I have some almost the same colour as your card, in a vase on my kitchen bench right now!
Love the background idea. Thanks for sharing your beautiful card.
Beautiful ombre background Therese but you blew me away with the colours in that beautiful flower. Awesome!
Oh Therese, your colour choices are perfect for this lilly. I havent got the background block stamps, but
now that i have seen how you have used them, i can see them in my next order. This flower is so realistic, i think we call it a Princess Lilly here, Altenew have done a fantastic job with this stamp set. I love the build a flower sets also.
Great job, thanks for sharing

Beautiful card.
Gorgeous card! The Ombre style background is so lovely. Thanks for the inspiration.
Absolutely GORGEOUS card, Therese!
That is quite stunning Therese. Love the colours. I’m having a hard time trying to choose from all these beautiful stamps.
Such a beautiful card. Thanks for sharing.
Just gorgeous
I think this set is the best so far. Love lilies. Great card design.
A gorgeous card. Love the colour combo.
Beautiful card, Therese. I love your soft colors.
I love the layering of flowers from Altenew but I’m starting out and find it expensive to get the inks. I love the card you made. It was enjoyable watching you add all the colors then suddenly it turns into this beautiful flower!!
Love the colors you chose for the lily and the background is great too, soft and sofisticated.
This card is lovely! 🙂
Absolutely lovely card. The Peruvian Lily — is it also called a freesia or am I just imagining they look the same. Anyway! beautiful, soft and dreamy card.
I love the colors you used for the lily, and how well they pair with that gorgeous background.. Thanks for sharing!
Love the background, they grey really makes the bright flower pop off the front of the card. And the placement of the sentiment is so cool, I must try to do that with mine more often too!!
I LOVE this stamp set. I think it’s one of the easiest layering set and it’s so pretty. Your card is just beautiful; thank you for offering more ideas
wow! Love that lily!
Love everything about this! The background and the flower.
Really love that graduated background!
This is so soft and pretty!
So beautiful. Love how used the double inking, was just enough.
Gorgeous card and excellent video! thank you.
This ia SO pretty! I love this soft color combination! Awesome
I use grays a lot – papers and inks – seems it makes everything else pop!
