For this card I decided to use the Paper Towel with my 'moppings' on the card....there was just enough inked section the frame behind a double stitched die cut circle frame and to add some more interest I tore small sections and glued them in place around the edge. I love that the PT wasn't too soppy and that the impressed circle design still showed, so I die cut white card circle to fit behind hold all the bits in place. The circles reminded me of bubble so I chose to make an undersea theme and attached some die cut seaweed and a stamped seahorse... I dropped Alcohol Ink onto cream pearl card and after it dried stamped my image in permanent ink, then fussy cut it out.... the pearl card shows through the AI and so he's all shimmery...lasted added a silver embossed stamped sentiment on vellum. I am playing along with CAS Mix Up August challenge - Paper Towel ... And Shopping Our Stash #402 challenge - Gone Fishing! ... And Addicted to CAS challenge #165 - Bubble.
Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - happy stamping.
