Hi there friends! We have a new challenge over at Just Us Girls today. This week is our technique challenge and Vicki has chosen a really cool technique. It's called the ombre technique. It's very popular now in clothing, hair color, cakes, and nail colors (like the pictures in our graphic). It's a very easy look to achieve.
The most difficult thing for me was coming up with ink colors and stamps to use! Once I settled on those, it was a breeze. My 21st anniversary was Thursday, so I decided to make an anniversary card for my husband using this technique. I chose Background Basics: Spots and Dots with Old Olive, Kiwi Kiss, and River Rock inks to create the panel. I was very happy with the results! To finish off my card, I used these sentiments from Love and Marriage. I've always loved this sentiment and my hubby likes John Lennon, so I think he'll get a kick out of this! I cut out the arrow using the Get to the Point die set. (I used Papertrey Ink stamps and dies.) I added a button and some twine.
I used last week's Clean and Simple sketch for my layout.
Stop by these blogs to see what the girls created with the ombre technique.
