Footer with gradient background

Hi,

I'm trying to create a gradient background for my footer. From Hex color FFFAE9 on the top to 6FD3B4 on the bottom.

I've tried this code, but couldn't get it to work.

body.homepage footer#footer-sections {background: rgb(111,211,180);
  background: linear-gradient(to right, 0deg, rgba(111,211,180,1) 0%, rgba(255,250,233,1) 100%);}

any help would be much appreciated! 

Try this code

footer.sections .section-background {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to right, 0deg, rgba(111,211,180,1) 0%, rgba(255,250,233,1) 100%);
}
