Our Midweek Throwdown challenge today at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps is Ombre` Stamping or card making... the definition of Ombre` is a color palette that is the same color scheme going from dark to light or light to dark.
I have a new stamp set from The Crafts Meow called Vintage Rides and as I started to color this car I thought it might just work for this! I colored the car with Copic markers:
R000, R11, R32, R35
C00, C2, C3
B0000
My card layout is also Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps sketch challenge #160. The card stock colors I've used are Papertrey Ink Smokey Shadow, Stampin' Up! Blush Blossom, Groovy Guava, Neenah Red Pepper Linen, Astrobrights Eclipse Black and Copic X Press It Blending card. The birthday stamps I've used on my two cards are from Papertrey Ink too.
I colored several cars using almost the same Copic markers numbers but in different color families so see how they'd turn out. I really like this yellow one!
Here's what I used:
Y00, Y11, Y35, Y38
C00, C2, C3
B0000
I copied the layout for this card from a card that I made a few years ago that I came across.
The card stock colors are Astrobrights Galaxy Gold, Solar Yellow & Eclipse Black, Neenah Pewter, Copic X Press It blending card and the top yellow strip is from Bazzill I think, it was a scrap.
I hope you'll take a shot a Ombre` cards for Operation Write Home this week, after I got started it was fun!

That car is so stinkin' cute! The first card is my favorite, because I love those colors you used, but the yellow one is nice and bright. Great job!
