Hello, it's Friday already, I don't know where this week has gone, I was full of good intentions to play with my new goodies from last weekend and this is the only thing I've done.
It's a background that has been lying around from an experiment with Oxide ink onto glossy photo paper. A mop up with Picked Raspberry and some Wilted Violet, after drying you 'polish' the photo paper with a tissue and the colours 'pop' I thought this was too bright, but as the average crafter who doesn't like to throw paper away, I though I'd give it another go, so I added some stencilling with Cracked Pistachio, buffed again, added the Crafty Individuals lady and a TH border stamp along with one of my new sentiments. Quite happy with it now - proves I was right not to throw it in the bin!
Have a great weekend and thanks for calling in.
