I made one large master sheet by patting Elements Inks in Sundance and Confetti on my kraft mat and spritzing with water, then dipping the panel into the inks and moving around with more spritzed water. Once dry, I sponged through Kate's PaperArtsy stencil PS426 with Elements Ink in Mermaid and then through Jofy stencil PS396 in Lime Punch. I spritzed in some places with more water to mottle the sponging. Then I filled in the sheet with stamping using Kate's Mini Stamps KCM021 and KCM003 and Sundance and Confetti inks.
I'm absolutely thrilled that the Elements ink pads now have reinkers! Donna at Topflight Stamps has stocked them all HERE!
On a smaller piece of Bristol, I white embossed KCM021 repeatedly in a long row and inked over it. I used these strips plus some of my cast offs from cutting down my main piece into cards for the little strippy layers.
For my focal images, I chose another couple of Kate's Mini Stamps, KCM023 and KCM022. I love how these two creatures look at one another when combined! I colored them with Prism markers and a water brush. I stamped out "YAY" with mini alphabet stamps, such as Tracy Scott's mini stamp TSM40, onto inky scraps and cut them into triangles, then drew around the edge with a pen to make the fun banner.For my smaller cards, I layered with the sentiment from PaperArtsy Mini Stamp MN107.
