This is for Robin's fun Free for All challenge, inspired by Francie - positive thinking sentiment.
This ginourmous acrylic stamp didn't fit in my MISTI....but that's ok, I have scissors! I cut the stamp just above the top of her hair. I stamped the long part of the image first, then removed it from MISTI, moved the cardstock down so the bottom poked out of MISTI and then I placed the top half of the stamp put in place. I hope that mames sense.
The backgrounds are from my stash. The blue one is alcohol inks on TH gloss A4 card, it's not as glossy as I thought, but I quite like the look.
The pink card is acrylic paint, scrapped over cardstock using a credit card. The circle stenciling is a result of cleaning the stencil after using on a different card. Simply place the dirty stencil on the card and wipe a baby wipe over the stencil.
I find I get the best ink coverage on mixed media backgrounds by using different inks (without cleaning the stamp). I start with Ranger Archival, followed by Memento Luxe and finished off with a couple inkings using TH Distress ink.
Thank you for looking and I hope you make today amazing!

Beautiful bright backgrounds for your stamped images. The two cards look so different. Hope they were sharp scissors you were using. I always laugh when Susie the Surgeon has been operating. Also hoping that it is not as smokey down there as it has been here today.
