Hi, Friends! Welcome back for a few bonus projects featuring the new Wild Elegance Collection, launching at The Greetery this morning!

So, oh my gosh, this first card set was a blast to make!!
PRO TIP: When you first get your arched dies, you could go ahead and die cut these fun arches before you cut your dies apart. OR, to avoid having the little metal connector bits impressed into your die cuts from all the dies being connected, you can just go ahead and cut your dies apart. Then, temporarily adhere them back together with some washi tape on the back side, to easily cut all these arches quickly. Choose your ombré range of colors to work with, and just die cut one of each of the arches, from each color of card stock. Then, when you want to assemble your cards, you can vary the placement of the ombré by starting with the lightest color and working toward darker. On the next card, reverse the order of the colors. On the card after that, you can start your ombré palette with the first color being the card base. This alters the positioning of all the colors in your ombré so that the first color of arch, will actually be the second in your palette. With the card after that, you can reverse the order again. By putting some of them on a neutral card base, and some of them on a card base of the actual color palette, it enables you to create multiple cards that are all similar but use up more die cuts from your arched assortment!
As it ended up, I needed to die cut a second set of the middle two colors in my line-up, so I'd have all the right colors in the right spots. But I also still have lots of arches left even after making these four cards, so I could have kept going!
On each one, I used the Arched Sentiments stamps and dies. LOVE!! Did I tell you that yesterday? Yes? Well, it bears repeating!! Ha!
Seriously, aren't they so fun?! They'd make a really great gift -- a whole ombré card set. And the best part is, you could do any ombré color range you want to! Yellows to greens! Yellows to greens to blues! Greens to blues to purples! Reds to Oranges to Yellows! See what I mean? Have fun with this one! I sure did!
Another group shot just cuz they're so preeeetty! :)

One more for today! I used the Sketched Wildflower Frame stamp and just inked it up in three sections, with three different colors, before stamping. Did a bit of an ombré here, too, now that I think about it!
In the center is more from Arched Sentiments and I finished this one off with color coordinating enamel dots. Easy peasy!
And the whole gang from this release! I can't wait to use some of these goodies to create with again. I had so much fun with this release! Hope you do, too!
