Friends
Very last minute post for this month's challenge at a2z. We are to use our favorite Hero Arts product & I have a ton of stamps collected over the last 20 years! I don't have a single go-to stamp, but I do love their background stamps. Classic Fabric Design is certainly one of my favorites, but I've never used it for a watercolor effect.
Using my Mini MISTI, I inked the stamp several times with Distress Inks evergreen bough, pine needles & iced spruce. I spritzed with water each time before stamping on white canvas cardstock.
The sentiment from HA Friends Are Treasures was stamped on a scrap of the same cardstock multiple times with iced spruce & then evergreen bough. I used Heidi Swapp glitter paper for the frame & embellished with PPP Sparkling Clear sequins. I'm also entering CropStop, HLS Watercolor Challenge, The Playground, SSS Wednesday & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
