It's the second week of my Guest Designer gig for the Just Us Girls Challenge which I am really enjoying! This week is Trend Week and the theme is OMBRE.
This gave me an opportunity to use a new stencil that arrived not long ago from Simon Says, called "Simple Patterns: Trio" designed by Cathy Zielske. I chose the simple stripes pattern, and used the Pinkfresh Studio ink cube pack called "Over the Hills" along with Concord & 9th's Evergreen to create an ombre background.
Pinkfresh Studio's "Botanical Branch" was die cut from Pinefeather cardstock (PTI) and layered over the stenciled background.
Then I die cut the focal panel and the narrow Pinefeather border with Gina K's "Master Layout #1" dies and layered them onto a top-folded cardbase. The sentiment from The Greetery's Sentiment Suite: Birthday was embossed in white on a skinny Pinefeather banner from Papertrey Ink.
The final touch was to add Nuvo Crystal Glaze to each of the berries on the delicate branch for a bit of dimension.
