Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another CASology Challenge. This week, our cue word is OMBRE. Ombre is so trendy now--I'm seeing it everywhere, and I had a lot of fun thinking of how to incorporate it into a card.
I used PTI Ombre Builders stamps to make an ombre panel that covers about 1/3 of my card. The rule of thirds is a great one to follow to help keep your card design CAS.
In case you were wondering, here are the inks I used in my ombre pattern in order left to right: PTI Tropical Teal, Heidi Swapp Teal, WPlus9 Ocean Drive, PTI Hawaiian Shores, WPlus9 Lake House and PTI Aqua Mist.
I had a few dry runs of my stamping that were too pretty to throw away, so I have some bonus inspiration for you.
So, what do you think? Will you play along this week and make something inspired by the word OMBRE? Please remember to keep your card Clean and Simple.
Head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.
Fabulous ! Love the variety :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a great stamp set for this cue card, Joyce! I love the colors you chose, and I'm so glad you didn't toss the others ~ All three cards are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue green ombre Joyce, so glad you shared the other panels to make more beautiful card. I love that PTI set and yet forget to use it. I guess I am too busy shopping for more--LOL

ReplyDeleteOh to have all those different colored inks. It's great that your dry runs actually turned out to make such fabulous cards, Joyce. Although I must say sometimes the samples turn out better than the real card in my case.
