Earlier I gave you some ideas how to use a sponge for this challenge — I decided to combine two ideas in one operation by using a Sponge Brayer to create this ombré background.

This is a lot of purple, even for me! And the color is prettier than in this photo, I think. Purple Posy ink (but not paper) has been pulled from the 2019-2021 In Color collection due to quality issues. I never actually had a customer experience problems, nor did I.

The brayering was simple to do. I adhered the Whisper White panel to my Grid Paper so it wouldn’t shift, then used painter’s tape to secure the mask over it. To avoid washing the brayer between colors, I started with the lightest color then rolled off as much ink as I could on scratch paper before moving to the next color.
