I used Scattered Straw Distress Ink to stencil Primitive Masks around my
focal image and I then pussy cut around the masks.
I think this added an interesting background that coordinated with my focal image.
I also stamped some leaves for embellishment.

  3. I hope you're enjoying your Hawaiian vacation. I certainly enjoyed the grass skirt tutorial. Your video was very well done with the music and falling petals. I love how you worked in the tikis. Even the background for the card was well chosen and set up. Everything for this post was well thought out and executed. You are an amazing blogger!
