Just Us Girls #557 - Trend Week

 Hi friends!  I'm the hostess over at Just Us Girls this week and I chose the OMBRE trend for our Trend Challenge.

I made another slimline card and channeled Jennifer McGuire once again.  I just love what she does with her techniques.  She recently did this technique in one of her videos called Negative Ink Layering.  What I did here was stamp the image on the cardstock then used the die to cut out a mask from Gina K masking paper.  I placed the mask onto the image, then used three different blue inks to create the ombre look.  Keeping the mask on, I used a leaf stencil and inked through it using the same three blue inks.  That is a little difficult to see.  With the mask still on, I used a small dotted stencil and white ink to ink over the panel.  I took off the mask to reveal the original stamped image. I die cut the sentiment and added the crystals and shimmer to the sentiment.  (I should have added a second smaller sentiment under the word die cut!  I'm going to do that later.)
