Just Us Girls Challenge #614 - Trend Week

It's my challenge for this week.  You basically have a choice - ink blended or ink sprayed background. I went ahead and made 1 of each, just because I love doing both!

For my first one, I used brand new stamps. The background, Simon Says Lantern Pattern Background Stamp [this is one of many that was in the mystery box I bought from Simon Says at the first of December].  I also used Gina K Designs Wild Blossoms.  [I won this one from the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Hop]

I used Oxide inks for blending over the clear embossed stamp image. (These inks do blend like butter!)

I went on to make a sprayed background.  Doing this type of background is really easy.  Again, I stamped a different background stamp [from the mystery box]; Simon Says Sunflower Background, using Versamark and clear embossing powder.

I used Dylusions Ink Sprays - Lemon Zest, Squeezed Orange, and Post Box Red on top of the resisted image. Rather then dab off the excess spray, I let it dry completely to keep the vivid color.

I used a sentiment from Pink Fresh Studios Perfect Sentiments, and a butterfly from the OOB Verve.  The Brown Diamond Rhinestone Mix are from Katscrappiness.

Okay, your turn!  Come on over to the JUGS #614 Challenge and show us your inked or sprayed backgrounds.  I'm looking forward to the gallery~
