Creating an ombre effect behind the vines was a wonderful choice. I also added just a hint of lace using pieces of a paper doily on two of the corners. I kept the card simple by adding a small greeting in the middle. What do you think?

First, I took a panel of Irresistibly Yours DSP and created an ombre effect using my sponge brayer.
I started with the Midnight Muse and sponged from the top toward the middle. I stopped about a third of the way down.
Then I applied the Marina Mist from the middle up and down a bit.
Lastly, I sponged the Soft Sky from the bottom toward the middle. Mainly, I wanted to make sure the colors blended together.
I then wiped down the panel with a paper towel. This removes the ink from the embossed vines.
I then adhered a piece of white paper doily to two opposite corner, and added a greeting to the center of the card. I did not want to cover the background.

Absolutely beautiful card to send to a friend. The hints of doily add to the beauty and the simple sentiment is all it needs.
