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!

What a great idea to use the black and white designer printed paper...perfect for creating a fall ombre!! Beautifully done!! Thanks for joining the fun and playing along with our Hey (H)Ombre challenge over at SOS!!
I love all of those pretty acorns! The colors on the paper make it look like velvet to me, especially in the close up!
It's really beautiful and such a good idea to add your own colour. I must go and look at my stash for ideas! I love the effect and the shiny acorn is the perfect touch. Thanks for Shopping your Stash with us this time.
Love your card...so creative! I never would have thought to do that.
love those autumn ombre inks with the gorgeous oak leaf background ... so very glad you got Embossable with us at Jingle Belles.
Ooops ... that's what I get for commenting before I'm quite awake ... thanks so much for joining us at Shopping Our Stash.
LeAnne, the oak leaf background DSP is so amazing and the way you used the colors make these acorns and leaves even more fabulous.
Thank you for playing with us at SHOPPING OUR STASH.
Stay healthy and safe.
