Did you all see the video from Stephanie over at the PTI blog showing how she Creates Mixed Background with Texture? Go check it out...it is pretty awesome!
I have two cards to share using this technique:
I stamped my leaves off the paper once and then stamped it on the card to give a little lighter inking.
Then I stamped my Botanical Bounty flowers and added some colored pencils to highlight both the flowers and the leaves. I used the hexagon cover plate for the added texture
I liked it so well, I tried one more card"
this Beautiful Berries: Spring set has a small little cluster of flowers and that is what I used for the top background, again, I stamped it off so it would be lighter than the original bouquet. I again used the hexagon cover plate and added a sentiment on a banner from Fresh Bouquet. My bling is PPP marshmallow confetti.
And do you remember the birthday pop up card I made with an elephant? Well, I made another one...
do you see the top of the hand? Any ideas what that might belong to? I had to draw it myself...
The little monkey from Tremendous Treats...I thought it was so cute, I just had to use him holding the balloons and floating away. I probably should have checked my position before gluing him down, then his hand wouldn't have been showing! ha ha
Well that is all for me folks, time to relax for the evening!
Yeah tomorrow is Friday!
I only have four more days to get my crafting in...then friends I am having a total knee replacement bright and early Tuesday morning. I think I will be out of commission for awhile, so bear with me, I will get around to visiting when I can!
Heart Hugs, friends!
