This week at Shopping Our Stash we're getting Sketchy.
I started by looking for a theme for my sketch and settled on the Just Us Girls Trend Week to use Foil on your Alcohol Ink.
I remembered I had the scraps left from these fun Rainbow Alcohol Ink cards, so I pieced the scraps together & die cut them for my background. Here's a view of what the full original pieces looked like.
I decided to pair the rainbow background with lots of white and a fun Just Because Doodle-Pop Bouquet that also has some foil in the flowers.
I used the Waffle Flower A2 Layers Die Cut for my Alcohol Ink Strip background (and then rounded the corners) and the Taylored Expressions Stitched Stacklet Circle Die, so I'm joining the Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies.
The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Simply Thank You ... I love that bold font. This is going into the stash of Mother's Day cards that I mail to the other women who have had an influence in my life.
These colours are fabulous. The inky effects are beautiful and even more special spliced like this. A perfect background for your bright bouquet.
