T
he background in shades of blue was created with a glass block, stamp pads and a spritz of water!
I wanted to try this technique for a long time and am so pleased with the results! No two are the same but all have just the right colour of background for this stamp!
Project Recipe
Card base: Cut Night of Navy Card Stock - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", fold in 1/2 to create standard card size of 5-1/2" x 4-1/4"
1st layer: Cut Marina Mist Card Stock - 5" x 3-3/4"

Using Clear Block "H", stamp 1/3 of the top of the block in Soft Sky Classic Ink, stamp 1/3 of the bottom of the block in Marina Mist Classic Ink and 1/4 of the bottom of the block in Night of Navy Classic Ink
With water in the Stampin' Spritzer, spritz the inked block
Stamp on the Whisper White Card Stock - leave the block on the card stock a few minutes so the ink soaks in - let it dry
Use the World of Dreams Stamp Set and Tuxedo Memento Ink to stamp the plant leaves
Use the Petite Pairs Stamp Set and Tuxedo Memento Ink to stamp your sentiment
