Well in our zoom meeting we had two techniques a background technique and a fun fold, well during the zoom, my background turned out terrible, could hardly see the pattern and I had a hard time getting the fold right, so I just dumped the card. A week or so later I tried the background technique again and this time it worked!
You ink up your background with water reactive ink, I used distress inks. Then you take the side of your embossing folder that is raised and you sprits it with water lightly, and close the embossing folder over your image and hold down for a bit of time to allow the water to make the image.
I colored up this cute skunk and added my sentiment to the cloud punch, punched some grass and flowers to finish off the scene. Hubby said a skunk for a birthday and I said but it is a cute skunk, see the rosy cheek, he just laughed. Hope my great niece likes it.
- Paper Studio - Silkscreen embossing folder
- Distress inks - Spun sugar, kitsch flamingo, Victorian velvet and Dusty Concord
- Your next stamp - Woodland Cuties, colored w/markers

I love the skunk! I have a friend who always wanted cards with yellow and skunks. This is adorable and your background turned out fantastic! I need to try this. I have a long list of things to try. One day I'll have to just sit down with my list and do them!
A very cute skunk, indeed, walking beneath those happy clouds. The technique for the background does sound tricky, but it turned out fabulously. The cutest of birthday cards, Connie.
