hmm...not sure if what I've made really shows gradual too well in the photos, sorry, but in real life the flowers really blend from a soft pink to quite a deep claret. I really wrestled with this card as it kept going 'wrong' or at least not how I envisaged it to be. And I thought I'd never hear myself say this but an ancient sheet of peel-offs really gave me the final touches that I was searching for. Who-da-thunk it?! :)
The black 'smudge' appearance on the stems is part of the 'In Stitches' stamp design, representing areas of thread. .
You can see the richness of the flowers as the colour gradually gets darker below.
I tried colouring the house...nope, looked wrong, coloured the fascia of the house...nope...so I left it colourless.

A striking, fun and fabulous techinque for ombre here. So eye-popping and rich in hue. Great idea for the challenge and thanks for playing along with us at Less is More this week. Sarah
Love the colours you've chosen! This is beautiful, Jo x
Such a beautiful card the colours are so pretty and I like the house left uncoloured its a great contrast with the flowers. Peel offs who would have thought of it indeed maybe the trend will come back !

I love this - it's so contemporary and quirky.
Such an unusual way to create an ombre design but you've nailed it, the graduation of the flowers is beautiful.
