Wow been awhile....

                                                          Less is More #310 - Colour
Being the first week of the month it's our Colour challenge 
We'd like you to use an OMBRE technique with your chosen colour


"Ombre means shading or shadow.
The is applied primarily to describe the gradual blending of one colour hue
 to another; usually moving tints and shades from light to dark"
so here is my take on the challenge ..
I also combine it with this challenge
the heart being the centre of the card ...and the sentiment.
the products used were
Colorbox colors
stamp is Stampin up Listen with the Heart
the sentiment again Stampin Up.

This picture is the snow that fall in Barriere
the trees looked so beautiful .
Have a great weekend .
