Create An Ombre Card Theme!
Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! It’s Ombre time! Do you know what that means? It means adding similar colors from dark to light or light to dark. I decided to go with shades of green:
I used our new Hello Irresistible Collection to create my card. I love the border die that is included in the Irresistible Blooms Dies. I cut three colors: Shade Spruce, Pear Pizzazz ans Soft Sea Foam. It was easy to glue the border strips to the white layer by adding tiny drops of multipurpose glue under the larger dots:
