Online Card Class - Day 19

Technique: Monoprinting

I struggled with this one too. You were to either use a gel plate or the back of a large acrylic background stamp. I didn't have a gel plate so used the acrylic stamp.  But I don't think my stamp(s) were thick enough. I only got one decent solid background (2nd card).

Online Card Class 2 - Day 18

Technique: Colourful Abstract Backgrounds

I must admit, I struggled with this. Either my ink pads were too juicy or I am too heavy handed.  Only the first card turned out like it was supposed to.  But I still was able to use some of other backgrounds on cards.
