Years ago, during one of my first Hope You Can Cling To (HYCCT) Challenges, there was a challenge to create a "camo" background using a single stamp that is stamped all over the background panel using different ink colors (same family of color or similar) to create a camouflaged look.
This weekend I was playing with a Valentine set and remembered that challenge. I thought it would be a super fun to re-visit that challenge for this week's technique lovers challenge. It was so fun and I love the final look!
Since today is Valentine's, I went with hearts but you can go with what ever image you want to. I can't find the tutorial, but you randomly stamp an image in various shades of ink all over to cover the background to create a camo look; then decorate any way you wish . For fun, and for your reference, HERE is the link to that HYCCT challenge
Soooo - for today's challenge, create a "camo" background using an image and ink of your choice.
Don't forget to upload your card to the technique gallery also.

Hi All - The challenge page is no longer available so I can't give the details from it but just in case you want to see the gallery for that HYCCT Challenge it is can be found at - Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I love this challenge, Lyn, and it's one of the reasons I took up stamping. Fast, fun and effective! Thanks for helping me design a card that I'll have to make more of! TLC834 EPIC FAIL by ArtzadoniStudio at Splitcoaststampers by Lori "Artzadoni"
I think there must be a problem with the image server because the gallery home page is blank, and all member galleries. I'm sure it will be resolved shortly.
