Make A Wish

Today I tried a new technique and loved it.  I used my gel press, acrylic paint and my brayer to create the background for my card.

I started with adding drops of color to the press and then rolling it out.  I did have a bit to much paint so I got one sheet of solid painted color to work with (can't wait to craft with it)!! I then took a background stamp and laid it down on the gel press and pressed it in.

 I stamped the background off each time on a separate piece of paper. Once done I took another piece of paper onto the gel press and rubbed the image into it.  I now have three different backgrounds to use on future projects from just one use of the gel press.

I used the sketch for week one of the 8th Birthday celebration going on over at Stampnation.  I am loving the inspiration I'm getting and making this card to no time at all.

Here is the birthday card I made today using a bit of the stamped background.
