The Final Challenges for 2013::Ombre Effect with cute monsters

I can't believe it is that last day of the 2013.  Where did the year go?  It has been an interesting year for us, good and bad, like for most people.  More good than bad, thank goodness.  I just wanted to post a final project that will be entered in the challenge at Craft Stamper Magazine and also Stampotique's Anything Goes challenge.

This panel is done on watercolor paper using Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions spray inks.  I kept blending areas down with water to create an ombre effect.  I used Stampotique stamps, the adorable HUG MONSTER and their phrase stamp.


So I'll say goodbye to 2013 and hello to 2014.  I hope everyone has an even better year this year.  Take care, thanks so much for stopping by! ~ Renee

    So clever to see the Hug Monsters appearing in the reverse colors of your ombre background! That technique is very striking. Love all the blending and dripping of your inks, too! I hear your message, Renee, and promise to repeat it to myself often! Happy New Year to you and your family!
