A quick post today to share a card I created for two challenges: CASology Challenge for the cue card Ombre and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for the theme Clean & Simple.
I started by embossing the feather onto a white panel, then stamped it with three PTI inks - Tropical Teal, Hawaiian Shores and Aqua Mist. I added a strip of Hawaiian Shores cardstock on each side, stamped the sentiment and placed a few clear sparkly sequins (from an old SSS card kit) to jazz it up...Done and dusted!
It's difficult to see the embossing around the feather, so here is a close-up:

ReplyDeleteBarb, your feather is ombre-awesome! Such a perfect image for this technique...and you embossed first, then stamped?
