Tiny Townie with an Elephant...

Hi everyone.


Just popping in today to share my new card made with a very cute little stamp from Stamping Bella.  I am very happy with how she turned out and the inked background was a great success.

After blending the oxides for my background I added small droplets of water, then damped off with a paper towel.  I then followed this by using splatters of white and black ink to the background.




 

Supplies used:

Stamping Bella Stamp - Tiny Townie with an Elephant (by request)
Penny Black Transparent Stamp - (Senitment used) Balloon Ride
Lawn Fawn Die - Stitched Rectangle Frames

MFT Die - Paris Skyline
Picket Fence Studio - Blending Brushes
Tim Holtz Distress Oxides - Seedless Preserves, Spun Sugar & Picked Raspberry
