Tag You're It- create your own background


What fun, this weeks Tag You're It theme, is to create your own background. Never did need an excuse to get messy, will do the ironing tomorrow.

I put a few drops of distress inks on my well used play mat, added some gold blending solution, then dragged, patted and generally dunked a piece of photo paper in the puddle. When dry I stamped the background of an ATC with some french script and roses. The picture of the little girl is from Crafty Individuals, then added a few flowers etc to finish.

Thankyou for stopping by to take a look.
