A big thank you to Cas-ual Fridays stamps for providing the stamps for the design team members to use.  What awesome products they have - you can check them out here at Cas-ual Fridays Stamps.  I used a technique I haven't done in years.  It's a stamp pad direct to water color paper technique.  I stamped my ink pads directly on the water color paper, then spritzed them with water. The color runs and makes a cool background. After drying, I stamped the images on the paper and added a few gems for embellishment.  Please visit our Challenge 2104 to see some great inspiration from the other design team members and uplink your creation for a chance to win a great prize from Cas-ual Fridays Stamps!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
