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.

Great card! I am loving those greens!
I like the shades of green … it is such a hopeful colour.
That is just lovely! The bars of green (and I can see this working in lots of colourways) is a fabulous background, and the stencil on top is just right.
Fabulous cas card Karen. Love the layout and gorgeous green tones. Sorry I missed last weeks card. Lovely to have your talents with us this month as our Guest.

Oh, I do like that ombre effect!
I love your card, clean crisp lines and the border. Just great!
This is so pretty Karen! I love the green hues you used to create the ombre look. Great die as well.
