Springfest 2023 - Ombré WINNER ANNOUNCED

Easy Ombré Resist
1. Heat emboss a background stamp on watercolor cardstock. I think any color embossing powder would work. I used clear. (If you don’t have a background stamp, just repeat any stamp all over a background to get a similar look. If you don’t have watercolor cardstock, regular will work okay.)
2. Take a dye inkpad (I used Distress ink) and apply it direct to paper across the center of your background. Use a heavy touch and you can also apply it back and forth a few times to get a very dark color.
3. Take a baby wipe (OR a damp paper towel) and rub in circles starting from the center and then working out to the edge of the cardstock. Use a light to medium pressure when doing this. This gives you an ombré effect, lighter and lighter on the edges and dark in the center.
Here is the blog where I found this technique. She has a photo tutorial.

I hope you enjoy this! I had to do it twice before I got one that I liked. The first time I used too heavy of a touch when rubbing the ink out and didn’t get as much of an ombré look.
Please complete a card with your background to finish this challenge.

Your sample is stunning, Heidi! I hope you don't mind if I use my new stamps from SU that can be made into oranges, grapefruit, etc. You really inspired me to put them to good use--haven't used them yet.
