Connie-Abstract Backgrounds with FEATURED ARTIST!!


This gorgeous stamp by Featured Artist Karen Middleton titled "Tara"
matched the die cut I wanted to use exactly!

Supplies:
glossy white card stock 
diecut for overlay- I used die by Memory Box "Catalina Border"
brayer
variegated ink pad (I used K-Pad "Melon Melody" by Tsukineko
Eclipse masking tape
ribbon scrap from Reasonable Ribbon


I cut 2 die cuts of Memory Box die from Eclipse masking tape and stuck them onto a glossy panel
then brayered over with K-Pad.
I folded a scrap of pretty ribbon (Reasonable Ribbon) onto a glue line and adhered it for an embelly.

I am including a scan of both my finished card and one die cut so you know what I began with.
You could do this with most any item(s) from punches to dies to ?
