Wednesday Words

Today I'm sharing a card I created to play along with the challenge at CAS Mix UP.

Now this was a technique I'd never heard of before and I was a little bit reluctant to give it a try. But I watched Loll's video - Paper Towel Backgrounds - and she explained it so clearly and made it look so simple I was persuaded to have a go.

And it was fun and I did like the result! Of course I didn't have a paper towel handy so I got to it and made some backgrounds for future use using my favourite Brusho colour powder, ultramarine and mopped the ink up with a paper towel.

So having created my paper towel background I then needed to think about how to present it in a CAS way.  As the edges were a bit scrappy and curled up I decided to pop it behind an aperture. I stamoed the silhouette onto the paper towel print and on to the aperture card - before cutting - so that it sort of extended out.

Here's a close up showing the paper towel textured pattern:

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Just Because
Inks: Versafine Clair, nocturne; Brusho, ultramarine

Thanks so much for joining me on my paper towel technique discovery journey. I really hope you'll try it out yourself and watch Loll's video for instructions and inspiration.

And keep crafting!
