Graphic Ombre

When I was rummaging through my stash today, I found another graphic stamp set (My Favorite Things Trendy Triangles), so I decided to give my Stretch Your Stamps Class another try.

My dream was to do an Ombre Repeat Stamping like Kristina Werner, but I realized after stamping my first three rows, that I would be stamping well into tomorrow before I got an entire card done without a mis-stamp.  So instead, I decided to combine her design with a modificaiton of Kelly Rasmussen's Border Stamping to cover my card front.

I stamped my ombre row two at a time, and then attached the four borders to cover the front of my card.  You can clearly see that I struggle to get my stamping straight even with a ruler and lined blocks, but I still love the effect.  I finished with an SRM Summer Sticker Sentiment which provides just the right contrast to the stamped background.

With my triangles I'm also joining the Geometric Challenge at Addicted to CAS, as well as the Ombre Challenge at A Blog Named Hero.
