CAS-ual Fridays CFC93 and Ombre Challenge at the Moxie Fab World




I'm not quite sure if the Ombre style (which is achieved by graduating color from light to dark) is also considered color blocking?  I decided to take a chance anyway and also enter my card in the CAS-ual Friday challenge, which is 'blocks of color'.

The stems are stitched with embroidery floss, individual strips of paper adhered together to create the ombre effect, shapes are die cut and popped up on dimensionals. Sentiment is stamped with Momento Ink.

  1. I was wondering about that too!
    Perhaps I should link my ombre chevrons too?

  2. Very very clever! I think it counts - they're definitely blocks and not blended. Love that even the leaves are done in the same way. Love this!

  13. Another perfect creation, Geri. I need to get out the saurus and see if I can find other descriptors for the word "perfect" which is how I find all your creations!! The amount of work on this card is amazing and it should win Card of the Year! If I tried something like that it would be all smudged. Me, in awe!!

  14. Shut the front door! You have blown me away with your ombre skills - this must have taken you forever, but it looks so effortless and easy! Oh my - I can't take my eyes off of it! Every detail holds one surprise after another. AH-MAZING, my friend!! You've inspired me to work on those challenges this weekend, too. I have a whole day to play. Sadly I still have over 1,000 blog feeds to read, too. Ugh! Will it never end?! LOL
