June 2014 - Ombre Technique

Ombre Technique 

 

 Ombre is a hot trend right now.  Ombre by definition is having colors or tones that shade into each other, used especially in fabric in which color is graduated from light to dark.  The Ombre on the 1^st card starts with sponging light color in the lower right corner and working towards the darkest color in upper left corner.
