 For Shello I did a couple of regular stand up easel cards in teal and green.  On teal Shello I did a fun background technique where basically you put inks and paints on a craft sheet then just smoosh (technical term. lol!) cardstock in all the inks, let it dry then stamp on it.  Also did some basic masking so Shello would be swimming behind the seaweed plants.  For my
second Shello easel card I stamped Shello on a separate piece of cardstock then blended colors all over him with my blending tool, cut him out and mounted on card.  I do like that saying, "sea ya soon!"



Oh yes, did I mention the theme for this month is easel cards!  regular easels, twisted easels, shape easels and more! Next stop is Janine so please see what she has to show you.
