supplies: Hero Arts Blush layering paper as card base, watercolor paper, Taylored Expressions Fancy Banner 2 Stamp and die combo, markers to color, worn lipstick distress ink, Winnie & Walter Audrey Cutaway
This stamp and die combo is another of the choices I made for a win at the Share Joy challenge recently - I thought this little banner would come in handy for lots of occasions. Today I simply smooshed some worn lipstick distress ink on an acrylic block, spritzed it with water, and then "stamped" it onto a watercolor panel, letting the ink flow where it wanted to. This is a technique that Shari Carroll came up with years ago, and gives you a little more control when you want a smooshed background.
There are 6 different sentiments in this cute little set, so I foresee it being used often!
Weekend's here - have a good one!
Such a pretty smooshed background, Lin - so perfect with that fun floral banner!!
