Secret Santa Swap in August















Andrea is holding a secret santa sort of swap, yes I know it's only August. We were given a partner, had to make something for them, send it on and they had to guess who it was from. My partner was Jo and she guessed it was me staight away!!! I made her a journey book using my new PA Structures and Arches stamps with a few other travel type ones thrown in too. The backgrounds for the inside pages were created with a distressed re-inker and water mix spritzed onto the page or distressed inks using the watermark technique. All images were stamped with timber brown stazon

You can find the info on how to create the backgrounds by visiting our Techniques Blog
