Gradient Fun

I am in challenge mode. Just made an ATC for Hero Arts, and since that was so much fun, I thought I'd try out an ATC for the Moxie Fab World gradient color challenge. What a fun technique!!! Here's how I did it (and I've already got plans to post another one if Audrey sleeps long enough): I cut out a strip from a sheet of tacky tape. Chose 3 shades of one color. Poured the lightest shade at the bottom and let the excess slide to the other end when I picked it up. Poured the second shade in the middle, rubbed it into the lighter shade a bit and let it slide to the unglittered end again. Poured the darkest shade next, rubbed it in and let the excess pour towards the lighter colors. I did go back with the lightest shade and rub in some more at the bottom. I love this look!! (Donna, what was that you said about ATCs being addicting?)
