Hi, everyone! I'm back again as this month's guest designer for the Just Us Girls challenge and this
week it's trend week. Ombre is something that is becoming increasingly popular in the papercrafting world and it's a look that can be achieved in so many different ways. It's a French term meaning "shaded" with colors graduating from light to dark.
I created the ombre effect by watercoloring on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel of Ranger distress watercolor cardstock and applied about 5 different warm shades of yellow, gold, orange, rust and a barn red using Pelikan watercolor paints. I then used the Arboscello Tree die by Memory Box to die cut my tree. The stitched squares were cut from scraps in my massive scrap pile (Tip: This is a great design to use up those odds and ends that many of us save!). The tiny metal leaf is actually a brad (I cut off the prongs and attached it with a glue dot). The sentiment is a Wet Paint die by Papertrey Ink.
Appreciate the warm welcome last week and hope to see you joining us for the super fun trend week!
