Ombre Stenciling with Distress Inks

card 1

A super quick post to share some ombre stenciling and a simple teacher card for my son's teacher.  I needed something cute and quirky.  I made a mask by tracing the zig zag across the stencil, then used it to cover sections while I while I watercolored each color with Distress Ink.  I cut a circle from this panel and made it into a shaker, with punched hearts from inky paper.  The little monster reminds me of my cutie pie (it's Paper Makeup).  The sentiment is a score Michael's $1 bin stamp.  Shaker cards are not my talent, but it was fun to try.  Mine never shake well...
