#GDP238: Ombre Card Collection

The sketch challenge this week at Global Design Project provided a lot of inspiration for me! So much inspiration that I created 4 cards using it - all the same but in different colors. I had to decide which one to use as my entry for the challenge, so I went to my Facebook followers and asked them to vote. It was pretty much a tie between two colors - do you want to see which one I chose?!

 

The blue/green combo was the winner, simply because I liked the placement of the rhinestones better. Purple is my favorite color, so that one was a close second!

And I created this card in two other colors too!

Leave a comment and let me know which color is your favorite. I've listed all of my supplies below. Each card was done with a watercolor wash using an Aqua Painter and 2-3 inks. I started at the bottom and worked my way up, so that the deeper color would fade into a lighter color. Don't you love the ombre look?

I think this photo is my favorite - the colors are so bright and vibrant! The sentiment comes from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set, and I had four of my very good friends in mind when I created these cards. Thank you for stopping by today. I hope I've inspired you to go and create something bold and beautiful!
