The Summer of Creative Chemistry and Perfect Splatter Distress Technique - oh so much fun! I made two backgrounds at once so no ink or perfect pearls were wasted. Initially I wasn't too sure about them but when I came back to them the next day I was thrilled with them. I love the shimmer.
The background made me think of sky and baby girls, so I pulled out my Lawn Fawn stork and set to stamping and watercolouring. I raised parts of the images up with foam tape for dimension and used Retrosketches for the layout.
