I've tried inks, mists and newly bought Gelatos. I ended up turning to my DPs and found one from Authentique I felt suited. I added die cut leaves and a heart made with Memory Box dies and a fairy from Marianne. The fairy I mounted onto black craft foram for a bit of dimension and I added frantage to her wings. 2 flowers from Prima and one of unknown provenence. A heat embossed sentiment on vellum, found in my stash of ready to use elements, two blue sequins decorated with pearls. Blue tulle. And voilà! (after 1 week and I don't know how many attempts, lol)
This card is for these challenges:
1) Inkspirational - Ombre
2) Fussy and Fancy - #131 Things with Wings
3) Simply Create Too - #77 Happy Mother's Day or for a Female
4) Crafting for all Seasons - #94 Things with Wings

Oooh lovely! Definitely not CAS - quite extravagant and beauitiful. I found ombre quite a challenge too, but I'm glad I tried it. Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges. Come back next time! Marina

Kjempeflott kort :)
Her ser eg du har brukt stencil og ein blåfarge. Det e jo ei byrjing ;)
Eg bestemte meg *in the romjul* for at 2015 skulle bli mitt
Embrace Imperfection -år. Kaste seg uti det, og vonlegvis lande mjukt :)
Det e kjempekjekt å leike med fargar (distress ink, gelatos) og vatn på forskjellige underlag.
Gesso e påny blitt ein god venn :) So lukke til med mixed media; det e moro :D
This is a wow card Pia! Sure glad you pushed through the struggles to make this amazing card to share with us. I haven't done much in ombre either.
