Hello!
I really love having backgrounds in my folder to choose from when I don't feel like getting messy to make a card.
Story Time: This is among one of the first wood mounted images I bought; I found it in a zoo gift shop, I think as a boxed set of three. But I moved a few times since and that original stamp is still in questionable storage that hasn't been accessed yet. So when I saw this for sale online I bought it AGAIN! Some images are just timeless and really draw you in. I think if you appreciate them so much initially it's likely you will not tire of them long term.
TECHNIQUES
faux watercolor (background)
basic stamping (fish*, sentiment)
glossy accents (fish)
alcohol markers (fish)
liquid sparkle medium (rectangle)
flat back gems
foam mounting (sentiment)
*fish/rectangle image was stamped once on background and once on white card stock and then colored and cut out to place over the background. I edged the cut out white image with a black marker to help it blend into the background, and then covered it with Glossy Accents.
