Addicted to CAS Challenge - Ombre


Hi there, blog friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS ~ I will be Hostess, and I'm challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Ombre’.


I created this card for my hubby for Valentine's Day. I started by embossing the white panel to add texture, then ink blended the alpha and used dark blue cardstock for the sentiment and border. Here is a close-up of the embossed panel:


We would love to see how the code word ‘Ombre’ inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team, and play along with us, come on over and check out the ATCAS Blog  ~

Thanks so much for stopping by,



Supplies:
Stamps: MFT - From the Heart (sentiment)
Dies: Altenew - Mega Alphabet Die; MFT - Skinny Strips (sentiment die)
Misc: Stampin' Up - Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions; Altenew - Lapis Lazuli ink set, Enamel Heart; Hero Arts - Detail White EP; MFT - After Midnight cardstock

I LOVE this, Barb. What a fantastic valentine!! I love that mega "U". I am feeling a little enabled at the moment... I will see if it passes. Truly a wonderful outside-the-valentine box creation.

SO creative and fun! Bet your hubby loved the card! Great work Barb! xx

HilaryJane said...

This is so clever and such a lovely blue colour a refreshing change from pink and red and probably much more acceptable to most men xx

That giant U really makes a statement, Barb, and is lovely in blue ombre.

Bev Gerard said...

Love this huge letter as the focal image ... not to mention the soft ombre effect.
