I have one last challenge with Addicted to CAS as their guest designer. I've loved playing along with them.
Once again, I turned to my Distress Stains to create my background. I applied the ink directly to an acrylic block, spritzed it with water and then pressed it to the watercolor paper. Working with the Distress Stains this was is always unpredictable but I always love what happens.
I used my Lil' Inkers dotted label die and used it to emboss a design into my paper. LOVE those dots. The stamps with matching dies I used are from a set by Wplus9 Designs. I wanted my look to be very simple so I didn't color my giraffe except for the bottoms of his little feet. The big balloon and the sentiment are also from the same set. I only added some accent to the balloon with a light gray Copic marker. I hand wrote the string for the balloon.
Check out what the rest of the Addicted to CAS team created and be sure to play along too.
Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
