Ombré Ube: California Collection

Ombre Ube is a part of the Postcard Collection: California edition. Ube is a purple yam that is grown primarily in the Phillipines, but it was in California that I experienced the taste and color for the first time. Surprised by it's sweetness and inspired by it's perfect purple, I decided to create a fun colorway that reminded me of the lattes and ice cream that we shared with our good friends.

Coordinating Colors: Eggplant, Black Rose
