Just Us Girls #262 - Trend

This week at Just Us Girls it's Trend Week, and Sue T. has chosen Ombre as our inspiration.  The vision for my card came to me around midnight the other night as I my lying in bed trying to go to sleep.  I had to literally get out of bed, find the stamps and put them on my work table to help me remember the idea in the morning.  I actually do this quite often and seem to come up with some of my best ideas at this time of night. lol  It is with sadness that we will be saying goodbye to Sue T. at the end of this challenge.  I will miss her kind spirit and wonderful talent.  Best of luck, Sue, in all you do.

Here's my card

I started by clear embossing a wonderful stamp set from Reverse Confetti called So Many Stars on white card stock.  I sponged with 4 shades of blue ink from GKD, all listed below.  The two focal image die cuts are from Reverse Confetti and the Hello sentiment is from W Plus 9.  I used the in-lay technique on the star panel.  The hello die cut consists of four layers of card stock.  The top black layer and three different shades of blue underneath.  I, also, added some black and white twine and a black button.

Please visit the Just Us Girls blog to see the beautiful cards the rest of the team and our GD, Wanda Cullen, have made this week.  I can't wait to see how you are inspired by the fun Trend of Ombre.
