This fortnight at Jingle Belles we're making cards that feature an "Ombre" effect; that is, which move from light to dark in a single color family. You can achieve this with one of the many beautiful patterned papers out there, or with a bit of ink blending, or, (if you're ME!) by cutting and overlapping 3/4" strips of cardstock in a whole bunch of shades of red and/or green!
After I had constructed my red and green ombre backgrounds, I added clusters of punched patterned paper circles and holiday stickers. Easy, Peasy!
Be sure to visit Jingle Belles to see what Stephanie has made to inspire you, and then start planning your own Ombre Masterpiece!
Beautiful ombre backgrounds on these darling cards.
