Ombre Paint DIY

Ombre flowers, cakes, paint, and nails have certainly made their way around the internet.  Here are a few of my favorites

I love the look of anything ombre and since I just happened to have a plain wood box sitting around I decided to make my own version.  It's been awhile since I posted a DIY box or a tray. I guess that ends now, huh? 

The whole box started with a coat of light pink, or was it the dark pink.  oh, I cant remember.  Either way it was pink.

Then using a paper plate I mixed and matched my dark pink and white paint till I found the right tints for the box. 

even the inside is kinda ombre

from the top it looks like just a plain old light pink box

but look at it from the side and it's a total ombre party

It took a little trial and error, but without much issue I now have my own ombre piece.
