Papertrey Ink MIM #241 Ombre Backgrounds

I'm playing along with Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday #241.  Betsy showed us how to create an ombre background and then to stencil a design on top of it.

Here's my card:

I had a bit of trouble getting the background smooth, but the stenciling over the top hides all the imperfections!  This was a fun technique!

Thanks for looking!
