Julia gave us the challenge of using paint today on our cards. I used a design panel by Hampton Arts that lays down the bg color. I really like using the Adirondack dauber acrylic paints for this type of stamp. I put the acrylic on the stamp face and then "off stamp" it two times to get this lighter, mottled bg.
The butterflies pop-up from the base, but I guess I didn't photograph it from a very good angle to capture that! : (
Fun challenge, Julia! Thanks!
