There are many things that I love about this card - one of which is the technique used on the background tiles! The technique challenge (
JUGS41) on the Just Us Girls blog this week is ink, spray and smash! Wow, that was a lot of fun!!
Here's a picture of the inky mess I made - Sahara Sand, More Mustard and Certainly Celery dye ink refills on gloss paper were used to make one of a kind backgrounds! If you don't already have a Tim
Holtz craft mat you need to run and get one now - it is an invaluable tool for quick and easy clean-up when trying out messy
techniques.
Here's another thing I love - the background papers (grid and dotted
kraft) are from my new Basic Grey Basics 6x6 pads in white,
manila and
kraft!! It may not float your boat to have pads of barely decorated white, cream and tan paper but I am positively giddy with enjoyment!!
The layout from this card is from the Card Patterns blog (
CP72). The botanical stamps are from the
PTI Life set and the simple sentiment is from
A Muse. You should try this new technique - it was so fast and easy and you can use as colorful of hues as you wish - just warn me so I can put on my sunglasses first!
