PbD Anniversary Challenge #5 - Ombre

Courage...

Challenge #5... yay!  This challenge was to use ombre (a gradient from one color to the next in the same color family) in your design.  I love ombre, but don't use it much in my creative crafting.  After this challenge, I may have to use it more often!  How fun!!!

I love damask (it's in my craft room... ) and also love Tim Holtz Distress inks, this was a perfect place to marry the two together.... I simply used three different colors of Tim Holtz inks and layered them on my Damask stamp ...and voila!  I love how the blue colors evoke the colors of the ocean... which goes perfect with the sentiment from Pink by Design.

Thanks for looking... lunch break and then on to challenge #6.... what a day!
