I love the bright and vibrant colours of the Tropical Gelatos.

To make the background I firstly coloured directly onto the stamp with the gelatos and then spritzed it with water.  For my first try, I stamped the card in the usual way but I found that as the stamp was soooo big, I missed bits out (thats how the background stamped sentiment came about !).  For my second try, I laid the card over the stamp and pressed down on the card and this gave a better impression (well, one I liked anyway !!).

You can see a list of everything I used below !

We hope you can join us in our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you make !






Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a great day !
