Ombre Petals





Hello crafty friends,

I'm popping in today with a fun little card I made for the latest Avery Elle Challenge #24. The theme this challenge is Spring. I looooove Spring. It reminds me of a new start, fresh flowers, sunshine and being able to be outdoors!

I created this card using the watercolor technique. I was able to use some of my new Hero Arts ombre ink pads I bought from one of my favorite crafty stores Butterfly Reflections Ink. The ink pads are so juicy and leave a smooth inked finish. I'm in love! Can't wait to buy more colors!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by,
Brandi

First off, I love this color combo. Second, you rocked the PPs. And third - you've convinced me that if I splurge on a HA ombre pad, it will be purple!
