Even though it has taken me a long while, I have begun to realize every cloud in life does indeed have a silver lining. I still am learning this, every single day.
I was inspired by the Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday Challenge: Ombre Stenciled Backgrounds to make this card. I started by selecting colors fro the ColourQ Challenge #331 and inked up a white panel with the various blues, teals and aqaus. Then I added ink on top of this through a chevron stencil. The video is very informative and easy to follow, the technique is one I'd really like to try again!

Beautiful ombré! I love the silver clouds paired with the perfect sentiment!
ReplyDeleteLove that sentiment, and your ombré stenciled background is gorgeous. I just realized I forgot to blend first and then stencil. Guess I've got too much else on my mind right now. Lovely card, Karen!
