WOYWW 201

Bit late this morning but I was determined to join in again after missing last week's desk hop.  Mojo still very hit and miss (mostly 'miss' at present) and I can't see it getting much better this month as we are away for two weekends and then a week at the end of the month.  Better get my skates on as Sorrel is waiting for me to post so we can have our morning walk.



Have been working on some pages for the deco book swap I'm in so they are on there (black, white and red).  Also there is a card to be sent with the pages. It's a simple one-layer made by scribbling marker pans on an acrylic block, spritzing with water and 'stamping' with it to create a background.

Short post today so please head over to Julia's to see what others are working on this week.

I'll leave you with a couple more photos of the card (before and after overstamping the background).

That's a lovely card. We've seen quite a few card makes on our desk hop and are feeling inspired to make something.

That background technique works so well with silhouette stamps. Must remember to use it more often. Happy WOYWW. Pam#23
