My friend Jane from the White Orchid sent me the most gorgeous Christmas card in teals and whites. She used this watercolor ombre background and it was so beautiful I decided to try it myself. (Hi Jane!) I'm not certain what method she used for her background, but I used a few drops of three different shades (from light to dark) of pinks and reds and then I used a very very wet aqua painter to paint from light to dark on water color paper. I love how the white rose die-cut pops out on the red background. Below I added some pearls to dress it up (and to cover a glue smudge, but you don't know that! LOL!)
