Here's an OLD Technique. It's the shaving cream technique. You never know what you will end up with. Have a look. It's worth buying a can of Shaving Cream. I promise. Give it a try and let us see what you come up with.

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 221

Stamps - MFPaHC - Oriental Joy

This week make your background by using an acrylic block as a stamp. I used yellow, 2 shades of orange and a rust. I just inked up the block in sections and then stamped on my paper. I did go back and do it again to darken areas.
