Playing along with the MIM challenge as well as the PTI Blog Hop!
Here's my take:
I thought the background was well suited for the dry brushing technique- I used a gray and orange acrylic paint with two different sized brushes for the background.
Once it was dry I pulled out Mum's the Word, Life & Graceful Greetings. They are stamped with a combination of distress ink & zig markers & brushed with a wet brush. The sentiment was also stamped with the zig marker and then topped with smokey shadow ink.
A few gold sequins finish it off!
Here's the gorgeous inspiration:
Off to work on book fair set up details- looking forward to hopping tonight!
Love this, I didn't have any paint, so I might skip this week...
