Ombre Fan Stencil Background Card

A project from our live show Brand Showcase in the HTCN studios - AVAGO INK - broadcast Friday 25th Feb 22 · 25/02/2022

A beautifully blended background card using fan stencils with rose and cassis inks creating a soft ombre effect. The layered colour graduation across the fan design produces an elegant, gallery-worthy focal point perfect for framing or as a card base.
