Hello with Pressed Flowers



Ombre is the fourth technique shared in MFT's Summer School lessons.  MFT Pressed Flowers lend themselves perfectly to this effect; as the layers are stamped in a single hue, the centers become progressively darker than the edges of the blooms.  After stacking multiple 'hello' die cuts, I sponged on blue ink to create a darker top edge fading toward the bottom of the word.  Wink of Stella adds some shine to the lower edge, but it doesn't show well in the photo.  This was a really fun techniuqe!

Thanks for stopping by,
Christine
