Tech 4 Stampers blog hop

Welcome to 2 Big Girls Crafting and my post for this months Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. The theme for this month's hop is .. Birthday. 

For the background blend ink directly on to a panel of basic white cardstock.  Then make an ink pad using kitchen roll and water. Fold 3 sheets of kitchen roll in half and place on a water proof surface.  Next add water until the paper is very wet. 

Now using a stamp ink up with the water and stamp onto the blended mat.

I used the amazing Leaf collection  background stamp.

Leave the stamp on the mat to allow the water to soak in. Once the stamp is removed the image will take a while to develop so be patient. 

The effect is subtle and beautiful 😍 It has a damask look to it.

Once the panel is dry cut to fit your project. Save the off cuts and use them on the inside of your card.

A simple sentiment is all this background needs. So I stamped the same birthday sentiment 3 times once in each of the colours from the background. I used peach pie, petunia pop and pretty in pink inks all from the 2024-2026 In-Color collection.
