April has a fun Challenge over A Place to Start - Ombre


Happy Spring everyone.

I am finally back crafting. I actually can climb the stairs to and from my craft room. I have been away for a few months due to some health issues. I sure missed everyone and my craft room.  


I was looking around blog land to an idea for a card for this month and  came across this idea over at A Place to Start. The optional Twist is Ombre' 

Ombre is not one specific colour, but rather a technique - meaning shapes. Not One specific colouriser , but rather a technique, shading.

I layered papers in similar colours, coloured sands, a Tim Holtz butterfly and sentiment to make my card. 



  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.


I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:
