Happy Wednesday, peeps! I have another fall card for you today! Shopping our Stash has an "ombre" challenge this week, and I had already begun to apply some color to a black and white piece of DSP from the Rustic Harvest when I saw the challenge, so I finished it up and here it is:
I must admit that this photo doesn't really catch the full effect of the blending; I started with Crushed Curry in the upper right hand corner, then blended Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Real Red. I created a banner with the Stylish Shapes dies and a sentiment from Eden's Garden, then embellished it with a little acorn from the retired Truly Grateful set, and a couple of copper Glimmer paper-punched oak leaves:
One of the activities that Dana & Wayne did while in Nashville was to create a poster at Hatch Show Print. Hatch prints a lot of the posters for country western stars and other entertainment venues--how cool, right?!
So here's Dana beginning her poster:
And here's her finished product!

As soon as you listed those colors, I took another look and saw them immediately, LeAnne! It's the subtlety of that blend that makes a great ombre. Love the sweet acorn!
