CCM Saturday Blog Hop - OMBRE!

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is to use ink, DSP or other mediums to create an ombre card. I used a Blending Brush with Orchid Oasis ink on Shimmery White cardstock to create my ombre. Shimmery White really helps the ink blend nicely!

As I'm writing this we are having fierce winds and the power keeps going out, so I'm going to keep this short. I made this card for my neighbor's daughter who is an early grad. She completed everything and graduated a semester early!

The "Congratulations" is in the Charming Sentiments bundle and the numerals are from the Alphabest bundle. I colored and fussy cut some flowers in the Perfectly Penciled DSP, and used one of the Basics 3D embossing folders for the background.

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori at Loritamarie Crafts.

The Freaky theme this month is Spread Love. If you landed here from Debbie Henderson Designs, welcome! There are six of us today, so there is plenty of love to spread around!

My first thought for this theme was a Valentine, but with that day just passed, I then thought what better way to spread love than to tell someone how much you appreciate them? It's something I don't do enough, and I'm really trying to be better about it.

I chose Eclectic Garden, not only for the perfect sentiment, but because all of the images will work no matter who the card goes to. Plus, they are quick-to-color, and can be even quicker if you're in a hurry and use the filler stamps!

So today I'm going to give this little blue bird of happiness to my long-suffering husband. 😁 I don't tell him nearly often enough how much I appreciate him putting up with me for 48 years.

Up next is Melissa, at Rubber FUNatics. I'm sure she has something LOVEly to share!
