MFT Camp Create 3, Awesome Ombre

It's Day 2 of Camp Create with MFT and today's challenge is Ombre. I chose to use this technique a little differently than you would expect. I used inks to create an ombre affect on watercolor paper than stamped and die cut onto the ombre piece to create the adorable dragon and the 'hello'. I love him!!!

From the adorable Magical Dragons set by Birdie Brown, I fell in love with this guy the minute I saw him in the sneak peeks of the new release and had to have him! He's so sweet!!!

MFT Camp Create 3, Monochromatic Magic

I'm so happy that My Favorite Things is doing a third session of Camp Create. Having spent most of the previous session preparing for my vacation, I missed out on the fun, but not this time!

Today's project is monochrome. I used shades of pink for my card. The sentiment is by MFT from the Birds of Paradise set. The flamingos and flower are by My Creative Time.

Adorable Santa from the Christmas Bobbleheadz set. I couldn't get a good shot of his eyes and sparkly beard (I used Wink of Stella clear glitter pen) but you can see a little of the glossy accents on the word 'believe'.
