I am back to share with you how I create some fun texture on our returning Glossy Cardstock. Today I decided to use the "This Little Piggy" stamp set for this technique.
The card is simple, and so is the technique.
As you can see from the instructions above, it's just some fun dabbing onto the Glossy Cardstock with a sponge which has been sprayed with some Alcohol, and few drops of your favorite reinkers. You create a fun background with some a few simple products, but it creates a big impact and fun texture.
I also wanted to share with you this fun idea. Using our Circle Tab Punch I picked out some cardstock which matched the reinkers I was going to use. Punched out the tab, and stapled it to the Stampin' Sponge Wedge. Keeps your fingers clean when you are creating this fun background.
I also needed a piece of "skinny" dimension, so I used the Skeleton piece of my Stampin' Dimensionals by cutting some thin strips with my Paper Snips. I wanted the frame to pop off from the image, sort of creating a frame.
Thank you for stopping by today and visiting me, and hope you will return soon to see some new shares I have scheduled for you! In the meantime, if you are ready to create your own fun backgrounds, be sure to select any of the products I used directly below, and the link will take you to my online store.
