I used the acrylic block watercolor technique for this background: rub the ink pad on the acrylic block, mist with water and place on the watercolor paper. I repeated the step twice using all colors. Once you're happy with the look, let dry then stamp on the silhouettes. And keep in mind every paper will react differently.
Tools:
Stampin Up - banner punch - if you don't know how to punch the banner this way check out my blog post here - a photo is posted.
Spellbinder - border die, Perfect Paper Crafting - Perfect Layers Mini to cut 1/16" and 1/8" borders, Scor-Pal for double line embossing
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink: forest moss, crushed olive, squeezed lemonade, mustard seed, spiced marmalade (streaked through the yellows), tumbled glass, salty ocean, black soot was rubbed on the edges of the banner StazOn - Jet Black for image
