Can you believe it's the 15th of the month?
There's still time to join in at
Pop on over and see what our talented Design Team and
this month's fabulous Guest Designer, Bobby have done to inspire you.
I've sponged an Ombre background using Distress inks and
those fun new brushes that Trina gave all of us at the retreat.
They work like a dream! (Or else rubbing Trina's arm to get her
talent to rub off on me really worked!)
I used two shades of green starting with Mowed Lawn at the top
and Twisted Citron at the bottom and blended in toward the center.
I die cut the fern from Neenah cardstock then used what was left
behind as a stencil. I used a wet baby wipe to dab at the blended
background through the stencil to get a ghosted look.
The frame was in my stash and seemed a good fit.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Beautifully blended ombre background. The white fern really stands out against it.
ReplyDeleteYour blended ombre inks background is gorgeous Bonnie. LOVE the bright greens with white ... so fresh! LOVE the way you've used your stencil die-cut to remove some of the ink to create the fern in the background with our white die-cut over top. Clever and beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the fresh colours and the design, so beautiful.

Gorgeous ombre background using your new make up brushes from Trina. I was sitting on the other side of Trina and hoping her coloring and sponging talents were rubbing off on me too:-) I love the 2 shades of green for your background and how you used your negative fern for stenciling with a baby wipe. Beautiful card and techniques my dear talented friend! Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteYour ombre background is beautiful. I love the ghost that appeared on it, giving a beautiful complement to the fern leaf. Such a beautiful card, Bonnie

What a gorgeous and smooth ombre background, Bonnie! I love that you added the subtle ghosted-look fern behind the die-cut one. It gives so much interest and echoing effect to the background. The dew drops are a wonderful finishing touch!

Great nuances of green, so smooth and clean. The ghosted leaf behind truly adds to the dimension of this beautiful card. Love the white fern and water drop beads that reflect the green behind. So, so convincing. As usual, you always frame your cards so appropriately. Beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ombré background, Bonnie. I may have gifted you the brushes, but you worked your magic. Clever use of the negative cutout as a stencil. Adds wonderful dimensions. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful ombre look using this pretty die cut fern over the top in white makes it stand out so prettily. I love it Bonnie. x
