Today's card features a combination of 2 techniques:
an ombre coloring combined with a heat emboss resist
Heat Emboss Resist is an easy technique,
you heat emboss an image and apply color over it.
The paper accepts the ink but the material used to emboss does not.
With an emboss resist your color choice can produce different results...
In that post I applied the color with an art sponge
For the ombre effect on today's card I used a sponge brayer
While I'm sure you could use a sponge for this,
given the large area I felt I got better coverage with the brayer.

The image is the Breathtaking Bouquet background stamp
which is very "busy". So the sentiment needed to be big and bold.
full product list at the end of the post
The sentiment is from a set called Seriously the Best
And not to get too punny on you, but combining
a heat resist with ombre coloring gives a background
that truly is seriously, the best!
Puns aside, seriously . . . I hope I have inspired you to
pull out your supplies and play.
And if you need any supplies I can provide those too.
