The technique today at Hand Stamped Sentiments was to use the Black Magic Technique. I haven't done that for awhile - so long in fact, that I had to use my watercolour pencil crayons because I've taken all the regular pencil crayons to school. I really must bring them back, I guess!
I took the sketch from Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge #380. I wasn't sure that the circles would work with the little background I created, but I think it all pulls together okay. I love this Creative Elements stamp set, and am glad it is remaining in the catalogue. I enjoy colouring in that little background - although it's a bit harder with gel pen than marker.
You don't realize how hard it was for me to not put this whole thing through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder - I held off and I'm glad - but that means there were no dimensionals used. That is an absolute rarity with me.
Anyway - my daughter and I are heading to the the "Park" for a treat of Marble Slab and then we're going to take in "The Hunger Games" - seems a bit odd after Marble Slab!!!!! Here's to an enjoyable evening.
Hope you have some enjoyment in your day! Thanks for stopping by! Joan
