I have been admiring the "ombre" effect on many different blogs lately.
The soft two-tone challenge at "Dynamic Duos" this week seemed to lend itself to this technique.
For this look I first stamped the sentiment in VersaMark and heat-embossed with white. Then I used a couple of sponge daubers to apply the colour from my CTMH dye ink-pads, in SKY and OLIVE.
The area where the two colours over-lap made a particularly lovely shade of teal.
All that was needed to finish it up was a strip of "grass"in a textured card-stock and a few epoxy bubbles.
Check it all out at: Dynamic Duos. Deadline is noon, Thursday, March 14th.

ReplyDeleteThis is so, so pretty! I love the overall simplicity of this card. My favorite things about this card is of course, the inking, and how the Bohemian alphabet looks in your design. Thanks for playing along with us last month at Heart 2 Heart!
