Here is my where I started my creation for today....

I used two stamps from plate 1363 and a recycled tag from Pier 1 that I painted with a mixture of gesso, creme & light green acrylic paints, and acrylic glazing medium. This makes a nice textured base, yet is slightly transparent showing underlying layers. I brushed edges with antique gold dewdrop pearlescent ink. Then I stamped sentiment in black, and accidentally smudged text. So I smudged a little more and went over text with a red pen, and then my favorite gelly hologram pen. Then I stamped the mini Santa several times and edged the bottom with a strip of torn paper (a salvaged scrap). Sweet & Simple.
