This weeks' Saturday Sketch challenge over at Stamping 411 inspired me to work with something that I hadn't yet pulled out of my cache of goodies -- my SU! wood sheets. I found them a tiny bit difficult to work with, merely because they are tricky to put ink on. I stamped the image and sentiment on with black StazOn, then lightly watercolored the image with nearly a dry brush -- the wetter your Aquapainter, the more bleed you get. The good news is that a white gel pen works great for highlighting! All in all, I do like the wood sheets and will use them again.
Things to know: The background is a wood sheet that was color embossed, using Not Quite Navy, in the Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions embossing folder. The wood sheets give a great impression!
This looks a lot better IRL -- trust me! The glitter "snow" doesn't look so hard and abrupt, but has a much softer appearance.
