Wild is the theme at Simon Says Wednesday challenge this week. I went with Wild colors. I took my old Stampin Up inkpads and wend direct to paper with them. OK, that is INTENSE. How do you lighten that up? LOL. I took another online card class for background and this technique was shown. I laid a stencil over the darkness and lightened it with a baby wipe by pressing into the open areas of the stencil. I had taped the stencil down and then ran it through my big shot. I LOVE the look. I needed a 50th anniversary card for Sunday and i cut the Tim Holtz words out of white to help brighten this up a bit. It was the perfect solution. A few sequins with My Favorite Things stencil die and i think I’ll call this a wrap.
What a gorgeous and creative background, Janeen. You are SO talented. Thanks so much for stopping by to share your talents with us. I hope you enjoy playing along, and that you will join us again real soon.
