I learned a new technique this afternoon and decided to try it for this challenge. I used a piece of sponge to soak up some paint I had squeezed onto my craft mat, then dabbed it lightly onto only a portion of the raised side of an embossing folder. I placed my card blank on top of the paint and gently rubbed my fingers around the back of the card to pick up the paint. It produces a soft imprint which I quite like. I used a stamp to create the focal text image. Simple text that speaks volumes!
I hope you can find some time this week to get crafty and this challenge is a fun one. You can find the details here.
Thanks for visiting today and for taking a moment to leave a comment. Both are important to me!
Cheers!
