Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #120: Overlapping Ombre

 This week's MIM was using the ombre effect in your card design. The challenge was kind of a stretch for me because I tend to gravitate toward using contrasting colors on a card.  Even after I starting stamping I wasn't sure I liked it - kept wanting to add some little blue flowers next to the red! I did have this idea, though, of flowers spilling over the top - going from dark to lighter shades. I even decided to do the leaves as well. (Maybe I wanted to add that green next to the red! haha) 

After I die cut and layered a few flowers over the stamping, and then added some glitter, this card really made me happy! Plus I really love these Mini Blooms:-)
