WOW, isn't it weird how once you notice something you start to see it everywhere? I first saw a card on
Angela's blog From the Tool Shed that uses ombre and thought it would be a great way to use up some of my old Bazzill cardstock that I have in 5 different shades. Then just a few days later the challenge at
Operation Write Home's Midweek Throwdown was to create a card using ombre. I knew then that I had to give this a try so
I CASE'd Angela's card. (She has a link to a tutorial for the card, too!) What an easy way to make a card! I feel like my card needs something else - Angela's card has a cluster of flowers on it, but she made hers larger than mine. To fit in a standard envelope, my card is 4.25 x 4.25 which didn't give me much space. What would you suggest to jazz it up?! I may be making more of these in the future and would love to incorporate your ideas.
Supplies:
card stock - Bazzill
ink - SU! Pumpkin Pie
stamp - Inspired Stamps
adhesive - Xyron, this gave full adhesive coverage making the card quick and easy to put together
Here's the definition of ombre, but would you call it a design style, a technique or something else entirely? The origin is from the French and Italian words that mean "to shade."
: having colors or tones that shade into each other —used especially of fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark
