Greetings! I saw the Simon Says Challenge Stamp and Show today and saw it was to create your own background which is one of my favorite things to do. I also mixed my elements to meet the bingo requirements of the Fashionable Stamping Challenge. I immediately pulled out some background stamps and started to play.
The background is created using a combination of the Music Score background and the Jumbo Cling Holly Hock stamped over the background. Both were stamped in brown ink. The flowers were colored with a touch of glimmer mist using a waterbrush. I accented the centers with bronze glass glitter.
The edges were embossed using Aged Gold Embossing Enamel.
The focal image is the Cling Plume Portrait framed out in a Tattered Angels Timepiece frame. I actually embossed the frame with the Stampendous Aged Gold Embossing Enamel a few different times and then stamped in it while it was warm using the music background. Love how it textured the frame!
The sentiment is stamped inside a stamped tag. Distress Tags, Rose Branch Border
Have a lovely day!
