<br />
The colours here are Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon. I masked off a section of watercolour paper and used a paintbrush to brush on some Twisted Citron on the left and some Mermaid Lagoon on the right. They blended a bit in the middle. Here I used watered down re-inkers so the colour was a bit more vibrant. The pony is embossed in black. The paper is Island Indigo. It's a pretty simple card 'cause sometimes you just have time for those.<br />

I actually just made it up so it's not really a technique. Ombré basically means to move from one colour hue to another gradually.<br />
<br />
To create the card I took some Summer Sun (very old Stampin Up! colour) re-inker and blended it with some Tangerine Tango re-inker. At the top of the card I painted on just the yellow ink and then gradually added more and more orange until the bottom, which is all orange. Quick and easy.<br />
<br />
The pony was then embossed in black.<br />

Then I sprayed with water and added some brown Bister and sprayed some more. Some canvass, vanilla brads and a vanilla die cut completed the look.
<br />
<br />
The card is 5.5x5.5. Vanilla paper matted with Early Espresso cardstock.
