The buffalo check background stamp was another Taylored Expressions item. For this card, I stamped it on white (multiple times) with Wilted Violet Distress ink. I love it!

Offspring2 celebrated a birthday recently. He is the photographer, two of his favorite subjects are night skies and critters.
I blended the sky onto Strathmore Bristol paper (blends so easily on this smooth surface!), and when it was dry, I flicked Kuretake white pearl paint onto it. I did struggle with how to ground the scene – I finally decided on a strip of green paper covered with die cut leaves.

I used my MISTI to make a background with sugar skulls from a Hero Arts stamp set. Then, I realized I messed up part way through. I salvaged the good part with a circle die.
