'U' Have a Heart of Gold


 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’. Trina, who always inspires me with her gorgeous cards, is our Guest Designer!
                         

I blended 4 shades of blue ink (Altenew) for the alpha and added texture with the SU embossing folder. Then I heat embossed the sentiment with detail white powder and mounted the panel onto a black card base...Easy peasy, lemon squeezy :)

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 - Essential Sentiments
Dies: Altenew - Mega Alphabet 'U' Die
Misc: Stampin' Up - Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions; Altenew - Crisp Pure White embossing powder

Your ombré ink blending is flawless. No surprise, I LOVE the colour! Design is CAS-tacular! Great choice of cue word, too. And thank you for your kind words about me in your post write-up. 💙

Fabulous CAS design Barb. Love the ombre technique, but forget to use it. It really does make that "U" special. xx

Clean and simple with a wonderful blue ombre', Barb. It does look slightly familiar though. ;)
