I LOVE the background!!! I have saved and saved those mesh produce bags, but more for an embellishment, you have put a different twist on how I can use them - more like a stencil!!!! Thanks so much!!! Oh, I can't wait to play. Lila

Only single layer of bag is used. Garlic bag is then taped over the paper (4 x 6)and beyond, slightly stretching it.I ended up using masking tape to hold it down.Ink up your brayer in your chosen color and carefully roll over paper and bag. It will slip and slide around. After you get the color where you want it, you remove the tape and slide out the paper. Bag is only used a template. The shell is just stamped in the same color ink. The chalk (pinkish)was used to give the shell a little bit of color. To get the drops of sand to hold, I dipped a sewing needle in glue and then dotted the card.

This card is awsome good job!.. Love the use of your garbage, I say if you can't eat it then use it to stamp with , well excluding potatoes of couse, cuz we all know you can make a stamp out of a potato.. just look at Hot Potato Stamps to confirm that one. I love that green it looks so much like nature, your color sense is terrific.
