Stampin B's 104

This week on The Stampin B's, Vicky has challenged us to make our own background paper.  I looked forward to this challenge since I LOVE the 3 layer background technique. [[ White emboss image on paper, ink up acrylic pad leaving white in between- mist with sprayer, stamp paper, and last, color up an image and stamp over both layers.]]  Ideally you should use water color paper since you are working with water, but I just used regular white cardstock, and it also works.  I just adore the end result of these type of cards.  I used the March release MFP stamp set - Just Dandy. (It is my favorite set this month).  Come on over to the Stampin B's and join in the fun!!
