I got my gelli plate out tonight and had a wonderful time making backgrounds! For this card I used a blue paint and a texture thing from Martha Stewart. We were at Home Depot last night in the paint section and Martha Stewart had a paint combing set for $6! There were 3 different sized combs and one of the combs had two sides so that's like 4! I used the biggest one on this monoprint.
Then for the square I used bubble wrap and edged scissors to cut out the square. I put Tim Holtz Silver distress paint around the edges. The circle is from a different monoprint. The tissue tapes and letters are also Tim Holtz.
I am entering the following challenges: Unscripted Sketches #206 4th Blogiversary
And Simon Says Stamp and Show: Make your own background. They always give away a $50 voucher to Simon Says Stamp- so awesome! :)
Thank you for stopping by! I am giving this card to a little guy that turns 4 tomorrow! He likes art so I hope he likes this card!
Until next time my friends-Let's have some cake and ice cream! There are celebrations everywhere! :)
