        • Sentimental Park
      • Paper

      Close up of plastic bag stamped background


      The plastic bag stamped background really make this card less boring.  I chose to first lay down some Pumpkin Pie ink on white cardstock using a blending brush.  The added more ink using a crumpled up plastic bag.  I finished it off by splattering some Wink of Stella after the layer were attached to card base.  Quick video below shows how I did it.
