Housework Ban!
That’s what I say! And I’ll even confess that after looking in the mirror, this is absolutely true! Seems that this could be the motto for many, many stamping enthusiasts out there for sure!
Both of these stamps are from Inky Antics. As some of you know, “coloring” with Prisma pencils and Gamsol is excellent ‘therapy’ for the little girl in many of us, myself included.
The background Chocolate Chip paper is simply crumpled up, dunked under running water, smooshed a bit more, then flattened on a heat-safe surface while drying with my heat tool! I’ve long enjoyed using this as an extra means of adding great texture. In fact, one of my upcoming swap cards includes this as well. *wink*
