I have combined Sabrina’s “Ways to Use It” challenge - Paper Tole / Pop it Up and Ky’s “Mix-Ability” challenge – Faux Tile.
First job was to spray several Dylsuions Inks on a plastic bag, spritzed a bit of water onto the inks then dragged an A4 sheet of cardstock through the inks. Where the ink didn’t stick, I just dabbed the paper on it. I don’t know if it makes any difference but I just use normal 250gsm cardstock – NOT watercolour card. Dried with heatgun.
Important note: Move the plastic bag BEFORE using heatgunÂ…Â…oh thatÂ’s a story for a rainy day.
Next step was to cut a 4” strip of the inked card stock to make the faux tiles panel. I used washi tape as masking tape – that might sound a bit extravagant, but it was the worlds ugliest tape that came in a pack of 3 (the other 2 were great). I used distress ink to make the black “grout”. Randomly stamped some background images.
The remaining inked cardstock was used to make the Unity stamps girl. I stamped Heidi 3 times, stuck her on the faux tiles and then layered her skirt twice more and pockets 3 times, using 3D foam tape for the last layer.
I had heaps of fun making this – now for the clean up. Thanks for looking.

WOW - Suzie, you do the most fabulous back grounds. I have to buy some of those spray inks. It's probably not a good idea to put spray inks in my hands, but maybe I can take keep the mess to a minimum in the kitchen.

I had a good chuckle about moving the plastic bag. Oh my, that's something I have done! I love the depth - both on the tile from the background stamps, and the layering on the girl's skirt. Such a cute card! Thank you for playing my challenge!

Fabulous, Susie, what wonderful colours for the bg, with the black "grouting", it just looks terrific! Heidi looks awesome in the same tones and such wonderful dimension with the skirt popped up!!

Your work with the sprays never ceases to amaze me, you come out with the most amazing backgrounds! I love this popped up dimensional Heidi, with her layers of skirt and popped pockets that look FULL of goodies! I especially like those leggings...
