Simply Sketched Saturday May Challenge

Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Jillian Selwood

The lovely Kathleen Rintoul-Waite designed our sketch this month and here it is:


When I saw the four layers I knew I wanted to do an ombre effect. Purple is my favourite colour, just in case you didn't realise! So I went with three shades of purple, the difficulty was deciding on going from dark to light or light to dark. In the end I thought the light to dark was more striking so here is my interpretation.

I have used a Thick Whisper White base, the next layer is Wisteria Wonder, then Perfect Plum and then on top is Elegant Eggplant. The ribbon is Wisteria Wonder and the flowers are die cut with the Botanical Builder framelit dies. I love white heat embossing on dark colours it just looks amazing.
