Ombre Masking Technique

I have to admit there are times where I'm amazed that a technique turns out completely different in real life than what I imagined in my head.  This card is one of those examples.  I used the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks and the new Blending Brushes to create an Ombre effect.  Unfortunately, this picture doesn't capture the true beauty of this technique.  I used Cherry Cobbler, Calypso Coral and Petal Pink inks to create a dark to light Ombre effect on Basic White cardstock.  I kept the greeting simple to showcase the beautiful technique.
