gingersnap creations : paint






The theme this week at Gingersnap is paint. I enjoyed making the little "squishing" background on this card. I took two small squares of glossy white card, randomly splodged acrylic paint onto one of them and then squished them together allow excess paint to ooze out of the sides. I then quickly pulled them apart to add texture and left to dry. I then simply over stamped one with the quote from scrolls work and mounted onto the card.
Of course you are also left with another similar background to play with.
