Good Monday Morning, and welcome to PTI's January Blog Hop!
Nichole challenged us with this photo:
Bright, bold graphic, surfboards???
I went with a couple of masculine style cards, something I'm always needing.
Stenciled Cover Plate: Twist Die, embossing paste and ink refils.
SAF '16: 1960's graphic dies (love those fun shapes!)
Sentiment: Wet Paint die
Used the stencil again on a black bg.
I stamped a woodgrain pattern on the larger orange image
(BB: Farm & Barn).
Can't wait to see how others interpreted the challenge photo.
Hop on over to Nichole's Blog!
