For 2 challenges:
CAS color challenge to use dark blue and white.
TLC to chose a background technique from the SCS resources.
I chose the acrylic block technique. Had tried it before with not a lot of luck, thought I would try a again. Inked block and stamped on paper, then stamped image on top. Added ribbon and sentiment. TFL

Carolyn, you did a great job with this technique! Seems many of us so far went for the nautical look! LOL

Wow! I love this! I love the background technique....have never tried it, but when the image is stamped in the same colour it creates such a great look!

I think you had much success this time. To the unschooled, it looks like you labored over your background. To those who are familiar with stamping it encourages us to give the technique a try, or try again. Plus you created a quick masculine card! TFS.
