Less is More #277

The theme this week at Less is More is something that pops or bangs. After some thought I decided to make a card using bubble wrap to create a background, after all nothing has a more satisfying pop than bubble wrap!



I started by masking an area using strips of torn paper. I then wrapped some bubble wrap around an acrylic block and stamped using twisted citron distress ink. I then used my Dutch Doobadoo burlap mask with my distress spritzer and a squeezed lemonade distress marker. The sentiment was a magazine freebie stamp.

Thank you for visiting today, happy crafting.

    I had a bubble wrap stamp on hand when I made my DT cards but ran out of time...great minds eh! The yellow and green inks look great together here.

    That's certainly a neat idea Karen and not one I'd thought of but WOW certainly makes some wonderful texture to the card using bubble wrap and there's so much fun popping it too. Thanks so much for playing along at Less is More this week. Sarah x
