Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends! It's a time to be thankful and a time to put your turkey pants on (who is remembering Joey from "Friends" right now?)! May you all enjoy the goodness this weekend brings!
Did you check out all our World Cardmaking Day fun on the blog on Saturday? With hourly posts spanning 14 hours we had a great time showcasing inspiration from our designers, offering up some challenges and of course there were prizes too! Our designers did some fabulous work and our sponsors offered up some amazing prizes. If you missed it, just start here!
This morning we would love to offer up another challenge...playing with ombre. Ombre means shaded or graduated in tone. It has been seen in hair, fashion, home decor and is now showing up in papercrafting! Here is a sweet example (heehee!) of ombre...
So today we have a great Monday challenge for you! Use ombre in either a card or layout and share it with us by either linking it here or by sending it to us at ideas@scrapbookandcards.com! If you send it to us by Wednesday morning at 8:00 a.m. EST we'll share a few right here! Oh and our design team has played along too so we'll showcase their cards on Wednesday as well.
Have a great Monday friends! Please don't forget that our Winter call ends today. To learn more about our call, click here. We would love to see your work in our next issue!

Is Ombre the same basically as monochromatic? Whatever, I want a piece of that cake.

Yummy example of ombre. Love the dark chocolate center too, awesome contrast.

Ombre comes from the French word ombrage which means shadow where in this case ombre is degrading colors from darkest to lighest or as someone mentioned monochromatic....all the varying degrees of colors is just beautiful!
