Simple Ombre Technique - Blue Skies

Wishing you blue skies!

I had a chance to play with some water & ink the other day; the result, an 'ombre-colored' card.

Supplies used:

watercolor paper

Tim Holtz Distress ink (salty ocean)

water spritz bottle

MemoryBox dies (puffy clouds)

Memento ink (black)

Joy's Life stamp set (Pun in the Sun)

I heavily inked the upper portion of my small piece of water-color paper with the distress ink, spritzed water over the entire piece and let the color run. I blotted the droplets at the bottom of the paper and used my heat gun for a quick dry.

The cloud dies were cut, the sentiment stamped and the ombre piece was attached with foam tape for dimension. I did sponge a little extra ink on the very top of the piece to add a bit more variation.  

Done.

(in 20 minutes)
