This is my card for Lori's HYCCT1517 challenge "Light Days" - to use the ombre technique on our cards.
I first did this technique in yellow tones, but I wasn't happy with it and added lots more ink in the pink range and sponging like crazy to blend. I added just a bit of Seedless preserves to the bottom edge to deepen the color there.
I placed the stencil over my background using removable adhesive in strategic spots to help hold the skinny parts in place - AFTER the background was completely dry. I used an ink blending tool to apply black acrylic paint through the stencil. When it dried I added the sentiment using VersaFine Onyx black.The focal was lightly spritzed with gold Glitter mist before adhering it directly to the card base.
As always, thanks for looking!
