This is my make for TRY IT ON TUESDAYS new challenge which starts today.
The theme is 'MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND'.
It's been a while since I got out any inks and made a mess on the craft mat and I started without any real ideas in mind!
I made a couple of background pieces using just 2 different colours on each one and this is one of them.
Speckled Egg and Pumice Stone just swiped on the mat and then the card pressed down randomly.
Didn't think it looked too bad so this was the first inked piece I used.
I'm trying to motivate myself to clear out the craft room.
We're having new flooring in a month or so, so of course all the cupboards have to be emptied.
To my shame I found this uninked and obviously unloved Woodware stamp during a half hearted attempt at putting some stamps in a box.
No idea how long I have had it either. I stamped it in Rich Cocoa ink and then just highlighted little bits of it with a blue pencil. Stamped a small script and a bit of a crackled stamp to give a bit of depth to the background.
The stamp has now been consigned to the 'get rid of' box as I doubt it will ever see ink again!
Thanks for dropping in. Hope you can join us this time at Try It On Tuesday. x
