magnificent maple

designed by Shari and stamped by me!;) This was a fun technique. we took painters tape, ripped of a small piece, pressed it onto an open ink pad and then tape it to the white piece and rip it back off. the ink stays put and the ugly tape is gone! The ink splatters are from the stamp set gorgeous grunge.

supplies:
paper: so saffron, rich razzleberry, whisper white
ink: rich razzleberry, always artichoke, so saffron
stamps: magnificent maple, gorgeous grunge, sassy salutations
tools: big shot, hounds tooth embossing folder, large oval punch, labels collection framelit
