Hi there, welcome to my blog, today is the day of the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop, I am privileged to be a member of this inspiring group of demonstrators. Do have a look at their blogs (links further down). Today's theme is to create and inked background. In the UK we are still waiting for a product called Pigment Sprinkles to get through European customs. However there are lots of products available that can produce some very effective results. As it was the end of the school term my daughter wanted to make some cards for her teachers and teaching assistants. We made some inky backgrounds on the Shimmer White card, then stamped and decorated. After the cards were made I had made this banner with the Pop of Petals stamps. Here is the video explaining how it was all done, I hope you will inspired to get inky and create custom backgrounds for your creations. Here are the other fabulous bloggers...
