So, I made quite a few background papers today and here I have a card using some.
I’m really enjoying Laura Bassen’s “smooshing” technique. You can see some other cards that I made using this technique here, here and here. The stamps are from PTI’s Easter Alleluia’s Stamp Set. I very much appreciate Betsy Veldman, who designed this stamp set.
I’m going to play this over at AAA CAS Card Challenges Game #36 Easter Colors .
And at Freshly Made Sketches #179 – A Sketch by Amy. I’m also playing over at ATSM’s Make Your Mark Challenge. I playing over at Word Art Wednesday for the first time this week, in their Challenge #176. I’m going to play this at SSS’s Monday Challenge:Pastels.
Thanks for stopping by!
