Today I wanted to play along with Avery Elle's current challenge which is ombre/gradient which seemed like the perfect opportunity to test out their new inks which I have to say I really like!
I took a fairly simplistic approach and used 3 tonal inks - celery, lemongrass and mimosa and as they are lovely juicy pigment inks I used the direct to paper technique starting from the lightest and working down to the darkest ink
Then to create something interesting with the ombre paper I made I took the hello word die and die cut it. I cut the same word again twice in white and layered them up behind the ombre for dimension. To add a little interest I die cut it once more from black card but this one I offset just slightly to add to the dimensional quality. One of the sentiments from the companion stamp set was all that was required to finish it off.
