I take no credit for that gorgeous background paper - that is a piece from Stampin' Up's Sand and Sea DSP! My contribution is the yellow inkiness on the white circle! It is another technique from the class I took. It involves smearing ink on a piece of acetate and then spritzing with water. Then I bounced the white paper up and down on the spritzed acetate to pick up color. After it dried I stamped the image over those wonderful splotches of color and die cut the circle! Simple and fun....my kind of project!
I am hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Hope you have fun with my sketch - I will be by to see your wonderful creations!
Stamp Set: Lemon and Big Squeeze (Impression Obsessions)
