This week is technique week with JUST US GIRLS! This week we are doing the Ombre Effect. Ok I have to admit I had no idea at all what this was. I looked it up and it's pretty cool. Bascially it's using 3 (maybe more I suppose) shades of the same color starting with the lightest to darkest, kind of creating a fade look.
I wanted to try and use my Dylusions sprays for this, so I played a little and here is a tag I came up with:
I know it doesnt' seem to show very well but in person it does fade show that "fade" better. I started on the bottom with: Lemon Zest, Pure Sunshine, Squeezed Orange. I know the first two are more yellow and then an orange but I thought it worked and look pretty good.
Be sure to stop by the Just Us Girls team to see their amazing creations:

Very cool! I love it! I tried using inks and watercolor paper first, but I was too impatient I think and it wasn't working! Love the spray idea!
HA! I think we are all questioning our "fading" -- this tag turned out awesome with this effect! Love the idea of using sprays!
Totally cute images and way to go with the spray painting :) Great take on the challenge!
I was also critical of my fading...the more I tried to make it light the darker it got...lol. Your tag came out great! I can see the gradient effect wonderfully!
Thanks for making me feel welcome at JUGS!
