I hadn't had a chance to play with this new stamp set yet and thought it would work well with the CAS challenge's 3 panel sketch and the technique challenge to use the Ombre technique and create a gradient of light to dark. I started with a piece of Very Vanilla and began sponging from the top down with Neutral color inks. I then stamped my images and spatter. I stamped my sentiment in Versamark and embossed in Early Espresso ep. I then cut my 3 panels. I stamped some spatter onto my base before adhering the panels on and then I added a distressed piece of hemp as it just looked a little bare.

You create some of the most beautiful, unique and fun backgrounds! This one is no exception! It's subtle yet incorporates the light to dark for the challenge. I love your sentiment!
