And I guess I took a really easy way to achieve my dark to light ombre look and used paint strips.
I simply punched a snowflake from each of the shades and trimmed off the label words from the strip. I had enough left over to punch a few extra snowflakes and I attached these in a drift to the right of the greeting quote.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Most Wonderful
Ink: SU, Bermuda Bay
Paint strip: Dulux, Javan Dawn
Punch: X cut
As this technique is so easy and quick I got carried away and made a second card. This time I picked some pinks and die cut the flowers before attaching them to a banner with the greeting stamped below.
I stamped the flowers middles using Staz On ink as the paint strips have a bit of a plastic feel to their surface.
Stamps: Uniko, Flower Power #5 * Pure Florals Cosmos
Ink: Staz On, Jet black
Dies: Uniko, Flower Power #1; MFT Die-namics, stitched fishtail flag
Paint Strip: Dulux, Fuchsia Falls
Gems: Hobbycraft

love both your cards, over here they don; make paintstrips like that anymore. I saw something similar in Pinterest once and wanted to make it, but nope. Love the ombre floers too, that;s a great color
