Ombre Thank you.

After almost two years making cards, I now feel comfortable enough to 'experiment'. I've seen lots of cards using the 'ombre' effect, so I decided to try on the sentiment of my card today. I colored this stamp (By SSS  May 2012 card kit) with a marker and I did it 3 times on the first letters,2 times on the second and 1 on the 'k' and 'u', then I embossed it with Inkadinkado Perarlescent  ep, I know I have to keep practicing, but I do like the result.
I used the sketch by CAS(E) this sketch for this week. On the left, I used and embossing folder by Cuttlebug and Anna Griffin called "Poppy"
and to finish it up I added some Cherry blossom stickers by Jolee.


So, another thank you card ready for when I need it. :)
Thanks so much for visiting and happy crafting.

    This is a pretty card, Loly. I think I like the embossed edge the most, but your ombre stamping is very cutting edge. I might have to try that one. Nice card.

    PS. Is that you that won over at the Paper Crafts Connection today? I had a little thrill at the thought that it might be you. Both your first and last names are unusual enough that it is my hope I'm right:) If so, congrats and we'll look to see how you put those supplies to good use. If not, you're already a winner to me!
