CASology Week 143: Ombre




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.

  13. Oh 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.
