Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good evening ladies Today I have been concentrating on finishing the samples for PBC workshop on faux layers.

Despite the colour in the photograph the base card is white.  The faux layer or background is the blue section to the left. It is achieved by tearing a strip of copier paper in a random style & placing it on the right hand side of the card leaving part of the left hand side to the fold...
