It was made by sprinkling brushos through a stencil and spritzing with water. Today I am using the other technique -inking up a stamp with markers and spritzing with water.
I put the stamp in my MISTI and inked up with Tombow markers, spritzing lightly, stamping, and repeating until I was happy with it. I trimmed the panel and added fun foam to the back.
I used the same green marker to ink up the sentiment on a background panel and added fun foam to the back of it too.
I'm also posting a Christmas card today as I want to enter the Paper Players CAS "Sparkle" challenge before it closes.
I have a sentiment die that says "sparkle" so had to use it!
I fussy cut the star, scored and folded it, and popped it up with pieces of fun foam (3 pieces layered in the centre, 2 pieces layered in each point of the star so that I could get the centre higher than the points).
With a paint brush, I splattered a tiny bit of the gold spray on the white panel, bordered it with pale gold cs, and added a die cut sentiment cut from the pale gold cs.
It sparkles more in real life but was hard to photograph.
I hope everyone is well and getting through these strange times okay.
