Very nice - Cardz 4 Guyz # 276 has a lovely "shades of blue" challenge this week!
This seems like the perfect time to break in my Spiral Dye background stamp - so much fun! First I picked out three likely blues, then I set up my Stamp-a-ratus. I cut my stamping layer to size and went to town! To achieve a great "tie-dye" effect, use your SAR and some grid paper: mark where your stamped sheet will be, and stamp your first color, then rotate the sheet 180 degrees and stamp in your second color. If you want to add a third color, shift your sheet 1/2" left or right to get the last of the white space. These steps work like a dream! I was so happy with my finished effect that I let the blues do the talking, and just added a nice big birthday sentiment on top - yay!
