tina's challenge

 

This stamp is so cool and I wanted to give it the focus it deserved. After stamping the image with yellow chalk ink onto white card stock, I immediately knew I wanted to create a repeating pattern but I knew it needed a focal point. I stamped the image once with the gray ink. cut it out and adhered it with a foam dot to make it stand out from the pattern. 

supplies :  Coltsfoot Petals Chalk Ink, Tin Can Chalk Ink, Stamp from November's add on kit, Crack the Whip, White card stock, foam dots

Thanks for the fun challenge! I used the embossing resist technique for the first time, this was just the right push for me to try it!
