Inspired By Stamping

With my team duties with IBS, I need a couple of extra posts during the month. Normally I try to find a few challenges.  However, this week I have been sitting on a tutorial from SCS;
Layered Gesso Background.

Today was the perfect day to try this totally fun technique!  I think it goes well with the Paris set from IBS, along with a sentiment from Arrows.

This card is for a friend of mine who spent her 25th wedding anniversary in Paris!  I am sure she has fabulous memories of their trip.  This card will be a small reminder~ 

Have you tried the latest trend, embossing paste?  I had so much fun using this stuff!



Thanks for stopping by~
