MIM #32

This weeks make it monday challenge over at papertrey ink is stamping with acrylic. A while back I saw a card made by Gabriela at sheinksalot for make it monday #24 that I just loved. I saved it to my inspiration folder and then forgot all about it. When I saw this weeks challenge to stamp with acrylic I remembered that card and knew what I was going to do.
I used white acrylic paint to stamp the planes I just swiped my foam brush over the stamp to remove some of the paint before stamping. I used navy acrylic paint to stamp the sentiments. I also ran the paint brush along the edges to keep that soft distressed look. I love the look of white on craft, but it is hard to get good white ink that shows up, so acrylic is a good solution for this. Both of my acrylic paints were Making Memories scrapbook colors which is archival safe so it can be used in scrapbooks as well.
12 days till the craft sale!
