Happy Saturday to you all - I just love weekends
The other day I made some salt backgrounds using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolour paints with Rock salt and left overnight. I loved the results however did not know what to do with them
Lightbulb moment this morning - I had watched Amanda Branston, DT for Lavinia, making a card using the same stamps and a beautiful bold background. Amanda's tutorial can be found on Lavinia for you over at Facebook
For this I used the background with the following ingredients
8x8 cardbase with navy and teal matt/layering
Versamark with Wow white embossing powder
Warm breeze and Twilight Versafine Clair
Lavinia stamps - Forest leaf and Believe in magic
Sorry for the number of pictures - I could not make up my mind which to use lol
Thank you for visiting me
