Hi Crafty Friends,
I have been having so much fun creating my own backgrounds lately, I am just loving using stencils and texture paste.
I again used a stencil and texture paste here and once the paste was dry I inked over it all in Oxide Ink Broken China then spritzed some water over it. Once that was dry I inked over the raised areas with my embossing ink pad then added clear embossing powder to give it a clear shine. I die cut the hot air balloon 3 times, once in white, yellow and pink to give it height - the white on the bottom then pink and yellow then the opposite parts on top. I went over the entire balloon with Mod Podge for gloss. I heat embossed the sentiment and die cut it out using my Lawn Fawn sentiment and die sets. I didn't take much care when I was inking the background as I thought I would be trimming it down but I decided a liked it fading out into white so left it as is.
Well that's it from me today but it's only just after midday here in Oz and I have some time on my hands to craft this arvo so never say never lol.
