Special Thoughts

I'm nearing the end of the tie die backgrounds, I promise . . .


Because coffee filters are not really designed for stamping, ink will sometimes diffuse a bit.  This can be a good thing if you want a slightly softer effect.  Once the main colors were sponged on and dried, I over-stamped with a text image in Sandalwood.  It came out with a misty look to it which I like.   Since the rest of the background was so enthusiastically colorful, I decided to keep the focal points rather simple.  Soft colors and minimal texture seemed to do the job . . .
