Hello Divas! Toni with you today using , , and to create a soft spring scene inspired by the current moodboard (enter by joining the or tagging #cddmonthly).
There is a lot going on with this card so I used lots of white (the window frame, insects, fence, and dress) but used pops of color on the flowers and bee to keep the card from becoming too visually cluttered.
Now let's talk about ombre a bit. If you're familiar with my work, you know I'm quite fond of ombre whether it be bold and bright or soft and subtle.

Now that is not to say I don't love creating an ombre background using my sponge applicators. Check out how beautifully the Distress Oxides blend. On the left I used , and ; on the right, , and . So very bold and yummy!
I hope you'll be inspired to show us in the your ombre skills!
