Ombre Card

I have not tried a lot of 'Ombre' card challenges in the past. One of the reasons is that I do not have different shades of coloured card stock in my stash and I cannot be bothered getting them just to do an 'Ombre' card! Anyway, when I saw the challenge on Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger this week, I wanted to give it a go. I was thinking of shading in shades of purple.. then maybe try different shades of patterned paper.. it all got too difficult again... until I found I had three perfect shades with my Core'dinations card pack (this comes with 2 of each shade in long 2.5 inch wide strips.  I was going to do this challenge with a normal sized card, but I was asked to make another A4 card for a maternity leave farewell at work. Here is my card, the inside reads 'Best Wishes, XOXO'. I'm also linking this card to Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes challenge.Thanks for dropping by!
