I've had this SSS Circle Doodle background stamp for a while and I have been dying to use it... so today was THE day! I started by embossing the stamp on watercolor paper with white embossing powder and then water colored the circles using distress inks with a little bit of water. After it was dry, I cut the bottom shape with a die from the MFT Blueprints 18 set. On a sheet of Limelight cardstock, I dry embossed the circle doodles leaving a watermark look to coordinate with the bottom of the panel and then rounded two of the opposite corners to soften it a little.
For the sentiment, I used a die from Impression Obsession. I cut the "thanks" two times. Once in blue and once in white. I offset them on each other to create a bit of a shadow. Just a blue "thanks" looked too strong and a white "thanks" looked a bit lost, but together, they worked!
And for the finishing touch... sequins, of course!
