I tried Lydia Fiedler new technique: Gel Plate Impressionism,
that she shared on Splitcoaststampers (SCS).
I was intriqued, especially since Lydia used Distress Oxide Inks!
I followed Lydia's photo and video tutorial for my background,
but stamped my silhouette flower image after I had made my background using my
MISTI and archival black ink.
I then die cut my image with Memory Box Stitch Rectangles die,
popped up on fun foam and spritzed with Sheep Shimmer Craft spray.
Next stamped my sentiment and attached to SU Very Vanilla Thick card base and Done!
A quick and fun background technique.
