Study in Blue

Dear Ones~
Today's offering is for the Mod Squad Challenge, to do the ombre technique. My dear friends Barb Campbell and Lesley Turner are hosting this week, and they are beyond talented. Click on their names to visit their blogs and see what I mean.

Here's my card:
 I chose to do a study in blue today. My ombre is on the background. I sponged 3 colors - Danube Blue, Faded Jeans, and Tumbled Glass, and then ran the piece through an embossing folder. The flourish die cut is from a Spellbinders die, and the background scribble, done in GKD Turquoise Sea, is cut with a die from a Sizzix set called Scribbles and Splatter by Tim Holtz. This set is new and I love it!!




Here is a close up of the scribble......I think it's so fun!!! The little flowers were punched out in Powder Blue card stock and sponged with Danube Blue Ink, then attached to the flourish die cut. Little pearls are added to the middle.



Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Ivory and Turquoise Sea Card Stock
Spellbinders Fantastic Flowers 1 Die
Sizzix Scribbles and Splat Die Set
Darice Basket Weave Embossing Folder
McGill Flower Punch
Distress Inks in Faded Jeans & Tumbled Glass
Memento Danube Blue Ink
Simon Says Stamp Circle Sayings Stamp for Greeting
Stash Pearls and Ribbon

  5. Ok, I maybe last here, but I am sure this will not be the last time someone says. " I love that scribble die!" Great ombre technique and I see that you are using more dies and not so much stamping. Hmmm, so am I. Wonder if it is a trend?
