Papertrey Ink Challange #8

   


 Papertrey Ink Challenge #8  Introducing Blue Skies and the Challenge is ....... Drum roll
to make a Blue ombre anything. 

This is day 8 of the challenges and I have blue ink every where.  That is because I started out with a piece of white card stock and shaded it in an ombre effect with Distress inks.  Then I die cut the feathers from PTI's Feather Finery.  I stamped and embossed the layers with Platinum embossing powder, and I liked the effect, but the ombre did not show up as well. But I decided to use them anyway.  If you look closely on my card, I think that you can see the effect.

I am including this picture of the negative of the dies that I cut.  I decided to use just the largest feather for my card and the smaller one inside.  The other paper is a scrap piece that I used to blot my sponge before making the ombre effect.  I am including it so that you can see where I got my inspiration for my background on my card.  I really liked the light airy feeling.  Almost like a reverse Bokeh effect.  Sometimes a bunch of scraps or how the papers are on my desk are an inspiration.  You just never know where it comes from. 

 

It is another sunny day here is Florida and I am going out into and soak up as much as I can.  We are going back home in just two weeks. 

Thanks again for stopping by as I entered all of these challenges from PTI.  It was fun.
