Pink Ombre

Hello folks!

Another CAS card, this time for Casology where the cue word is 'ombre:'








I blended a few distress inks and cut out a stitched panel - it was all looking a little too pink so I die cut a window and backed it with a piece of vellum to soften it. I then added an MFT daisy and a sentiment from WMS and matted it all on black.

We're bracing ourselves for more storms in NSW later in the week. Since my work commute involves
driving a boat along a river, it does make getting to work a little more interesting to say the least.  Last week the journey was spent trying to avoid all the debris floating in the river, as well as a number of boats that had sunk.  I arrived at work absolutely soaking wet (despite full waterproofs) only to find that the power was out so I wasn't even able to dry my clothes! Fingers crossed it won't be the same this week!

Happy stamping!

  3. Your ombre background is amazing. I love it with the little daisy. I had a bit of a cringe when I read about your commute. That's a lot to have to deal with. I hope you make it in all right this week!
