Enter Zig Clean Color brush pens and PTI Mighty Oak die.
Colored a panel of watercolor CS with gradient tones of blue and gray (at the bottom). Blended with water and a brush. Die cut and adhered to a Soft Stone cardbase. Added a strip of blue to the right edge and a sentiment from Meadow Greens, intending this to be a sympathy card.
A fun technique. What I discovered (you can see on my Instagram) was kinda cool. I splattered water onto my blended panel while it was still damp. The water droplets spread into little star shapes. You can barely see it on a couple of the leaves on this card, But the technique would be cool for night sky BGs too!
Have a great day!

Hi Maria
Thank you for stopping by. I am dazzled by the blue ombre tree and the sentiment matches the tree so well. Would you mind to let me know which brand carries the sentiment stamp? Danke :)
P.S I have visited Germany couple of time in the past 7 years, lived with my friends for a month in Frankfurt, Berlin, Heidelberg, Hannover and Hamburger. Lovely cities and I love the manholes on the street! Each city has a different one and they all look like a piece of art!

This is sooooooooo beautiful in its understated simplicity! The ombre effect going on in the die cut work makes this card so elegant and interesting.

This looks wonderful! Yes, I can see some stars! Absolutely love it!
The tree is a wonderful shape for the gradient look! Lovely design!
It's absolutely stunning. I love the blues you chose and I can so see those starbursts - they're like the perfect highlights on your leaves.
WOW ... gorgeous card Maria ... and same for the next one using your "leftovers". You sure have good leftovers! :) Beautiful design and colours. Would be perfect for our CAS Mix Up June Challenge - Die-cuts. Hope to see you there! xx
Great card!
This is beautiful Maria~I love Mighty Oak in blues!
Fabulous choice of die - love how the different hues of blues cascade down with the leaves on the tree!
Beautiful sympathy card, Maria! Mighty Oak was a great choice and looks awesome in shades of blue/gray.

Serene and stunning, Maria ... checked out your Instagram ... those droplets do look like sparkly stars ... gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)
Gorgeous, that ombre tree of yours with the star-sparkly droplets! If this is what Zigs can do, I'd better start practicing more (maybe *grin*)
