Hi there...
We are drowning in rain here and there is no sign of it letting up in the next few days either. I ventured out but only for the follow up appointment on my spine... Thankfully it's all fused together now and I only have one appointment to go before I'm signed off altogether. I can't believe it's been 18 months already.
I got to make a card today ... This one is for the
It's awhile since I did anything Ombre and though I do have ombre ink pads... I like to use ink blending
The inks I used were Squeezed lemonade, Dried Marigold and Spiced Marmalade and I did a little splattering of water.
There's is a mix of stamps here too and all have been heat embossed.
I used a tiny piece of vellum to stamp the bees wings and stuck them onto the original stamping and also added white gel pen to the petals
I need to sign off now to see to the dinner so I'll wish you a lovely day/ evening
Take care

Yes I wish Summer would hurry along....So glad your back is healing well and yes 18 months ago, where does time go? x
What a fabulous card Ros and I love the yellow through peach to orange tones you have used, and the bee with its beautiful vellum wings, and sunflowers, all black embossed with just a hint of white gel pen on the flowers and echoed in your pretty foliage tucked under the left had side of the mat, look great, and the sentiment and sweet little heart finish it perfectly. x

So happy you got a good report on your back! I would never have thought it's been 18 months! Your ink blending is just superb, my friend--gorgeous card! Adding the branch is something I would never have thought to do--love it!
Such a beautiful card. The ombre panel with that floating bee, thanks to those vellum wings, is so full of interest. The doodled flowers and delicate white branch die cut is a great addition as well. Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Mix Up!
Love the ombre background and the bee wings look amazing, what a super job on this one! Beautiful!! What a wonderful report!! Wish I could trade you some sun for rain. We had a fairly mild spring but summer is here with a bang now...hot hot hot!
Love the richness of the colour and the white accents. The stamping is beautiful. I love this. Hope you don't mind me pinning it for inspiration.
Gorgeous ombre background, Ros! The colors and the ink blending are fantastic! Love all the details - the vellum bee wings, the gel pen highlights, just the right amount of spatters, and the way you placed the die-cut leaves! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful card with us at CAS Mix Up!

Gorgeous ombre blending of your lovely sunset colored background, Ros! Beautiful for your flowers and your bee! (You know, it's hard for me not to mention that there is a bee challenge going on over at Twofer ...!) I hope your rain goes away soon!! Hugs, Darnell
I love that gorgeous ombre panel Ros and it makes a perfect backdrop for the flowers and bee. Love the vellum wings and that cute sentiment. It's still raining here - I think we need to start building boats!

What a gorgeous card - I absolutely love the vellum wings, that's a great idea and adds extra interest! As usual, I'm on a little "catch-up" tour on your blog but was relieved to see that at least I don'thave to click on "older posts"...
