Back Again - this time for the current challenge over at
Addicted to CAS and it is one of my favourites - Ombre!
My card was reeeeeeealy easy to achieve that ombre look
because of Altenew's Ink cubes
where you get 4 little colour coordinating pads.
This one is Cosmos -
I went with the darkest to lightest.
The background stamping is from
changing the stamps direction each time.
The floral image is part of the
Kaisercraft Secret Bird Collection Stamp Set.
I stamped my sentiment from
Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler
then cut with Spellbinders Scalloped die.
Inked the edges but still was missing something
so lightly sponged inside.
Now I couldn't decide what card base to use.
Tried black - yuk! left it for a while and came back
and it hit me! Just use white and lightly ink
the background from the same stamp set.
Here is what it looks like -
I used the lightest ink and I was happy.
Popped it and my cas card is complete.

Thanks for dropping back in again so quickly.

Lovely CAS make! I wasn't familiar with those little Altenew cubes. So cheery and bright!
Wow, you really achieved that ombre look, just beautiful. And I love the silhouette flowers against those beautiful colors. They really POP!!!
Fabulous ombre card, Ina! Those are some really pretty colors!
That bg idea sure worked out well for your forcal image, SS. Gorgeous! Love those colors!
Smarty pants. I never thought to just swipe a die cube across like this, Ina. It worked wonderfully for the ombre' technique. I love how you added a little of the color to the card base too.
Love that ombre background Ina.
