Straw Technique- Imagine the Possibilities!!

Photo Details

Poster: Julie Gearinger

This has been one busy week and I finally had a chance to create a card for the Splitcoaststampers You Can Do It Challenge #15- Straw Technique.

This is a brand new technique for me using glossy paper, a few drops of re-inker and a straw. You need to be careful- you can get light headed doing this background :-)!!

I decided to incorporate this technique using the colors from this weeks Create with Connie and Mary CCMC248 Challenge and also this qualifies for Just Add Ink's JAI162 Try A Technique You Have Never Tried Before :-). This is a fun technique- if interested, I have free detailed instructions on My Blog

Thanks again for looking- I hope you can join in on the fun!!

A perfect technique and colors for an under-the-sea card. Both your bg and the embossed coral look fantastic!
