CAS Mix Up - June Challenge


Hi there ~
A quick post from me...I'm playing along with the CAS Mix Up Challenge with the prompt: Ombre...I grabbed one of my all-time favorite stencils and created this card.


I used the SSS Leaves stencil and blended 3 shades of Altenew inks to create the ombre effect. The sentiment was embossed in gold and the panel was die cut using MFT stitched rectangle STAX. A few clear sequins and that was it!

Just what is it about a branch of leaves that calms whatever ails us? I could lay under a tree forever... could you? Okay, I may not be able to get up after 15 minutes but oh well.
LOve your fabulous ombre leaves, Barb!! xx

These leaves are 'classic' Barb, I always love the way they look on a card design and pairing it with the gold sentiment was a great choice!

Love the simplicity of this ombre stencilling. So serene and so very CAS. The nuances of green are perfect so is the gold embossed sentiment.
