Ombré Wonderland

This fortnight we're asking you to walk in an Ombré Wonderland with us ... creating a card that features an Ombré blend. Ombré is literally French for "shaded" ... a gradient effect where colors smoothly blend into each other, usually transitioning from light to dark or between different hues.

Here is how we got colorful this week.

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I started by blending four shades of Green Distress Ink to create my Ombré ink blend. Next, I die cut the Memory Box Marvelous Pine and blended a bit more ink for a higher contrast from bottom to top.  I decorated my tree with pearls and added a star on top. I used the Pinkfresh Studio Notched Corner Frame with Tim Holtz Idea-ology Red Paper. I used a solid red from the same paper collection and ink blended darker ink along the bottom to get an Ombré ink blend on my background.  I finished with Merry Christmas sticker sentiment."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "When I found a white-embossed snowflake panel in my UFOs box, I immediately knew it'd make the perfect start to an ombre emboss/resist background. I blended four shades of Simon Hurley pink inks (Piggyback, Rosy Cheeks, Stupid Cupid and Prom Queen) over the embossing; added some Eyelet Outlet Snowflake Brads and then loaded on lots of adorable Doodlebug Design stickers. Job done!"
