The paper towel technique

Today I'm sharing a card I made for https://casmixup.blogspot.com/ using a paper towel. This is a fun way to create a background . You can't see the pattern to well all over the background but I like the colors so I used it. Just wet it and laid it over cardstock and pushed on it with my fingers.  The leaves are cut in two matching ink colors of yellow and lavender from Concord and 9th. The sentiment is Penny Black.  Paper towel, die cuts and stamping.





Be kind to one another.

Lovely card, Brenda, such a beautiful sentiment too. I've had a go at the paper towel technique, but I think I need lots more practise before I use it to make a card. LOL! xx
