WT392 Smackin Acetate Sympathy
Added to Favorite
xxxx

Photo Details
Poster: CAKath

 Today's challenge asked us to use our markers in creative ways. I chose to do the Smackin' Acetate technique, coloring on the diagonal with 3 colors, spritz with water and press to your card stock. I was inspired by this original creation by Karen Dunbrooks that I have in my favorites:

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2246454

I used a similar array of colors and did also mask, but I used the apothecary arts shape which is large and ended up with these ragged edges on my colored panel. I really like the way this turned out for once! I simply stamped the tree and bird in black on top of the colored panel.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.
