52CCT November Technique

This week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown, we are challenging you to do an acrylic block background technique. I chose to use the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch for my card. I inked the block in Holiday Red and sprayed it with my stamp cleaner for that speckled effect. Then I just drew a border inside with a black marker.


Materials used:
Cardstock: White Daisy
B&Ts: Believe
Stamps: To You and Yours
Ink: Holiday Red, Sky, Sweet Leaf
Other: Black Marker
