June 16: Paper Sweeties June Release Rewind!

Day 4 of the Paper Sweeties stamp and die release! I wanted to try a new technique to me which is colouring on kraft paper with Copic Markers. I also did the Masking Technique.

I stamped the water can onto the kraft tag and then covering the top of image with another piece of paper I stamped the sunflower image. Easy Peasy!

Come hop along with the team!
