Hello my crafty friends,
This week at Inkspirational is our Designer's challenge week and it is the very creative Pia who has challenged us to create an 'ombre' project-that means when the colour is graduated in tone e.g. a colour that fades from dark grey to light grey." Of course any colour can be used on the project.
And here is my ombre card:
I have heat embossed a dotted border stamp from Uniko and then used watercolour paints adding the colour at the top near the birds and just adding more and more water to make the colour lighter. I got this idea when I saw this card from Greta. I loved what Greta had done so gave it a go but in a more CAS version. I ended up by adding a few splashes of the paint and some gems.
This week our Guest Designer is Deepti. Deepti is super talented and we are so pleased that Deepti plays along at Inkspirational in many of our challenges and has won on a number occasions.
You can see what Deepti and the rest of the DT have created here
I will enter this into the following challenges:
Happy Little Stamper CAS challenge-use water colouring.
