Big Shot Technique

For the Technique Challenge on Stampin' Addicts today, I decide to create a sanded designer series paper background. I used the Pumpkin Pie semi-solid piece and the Texturz embossing plate, and then just used SU! Sanding Blocks to gently remove a bit of the color on the raised portions of the dsp.

A gift card can be slipped under the image layer and ribbon...this one doesn't match, but you can see it easily. I was inspired by SU! demonstrator Carrie Gaskin for this, but I'm not sure she'll be flattered by the reference....mine isn't as dramatic as hers :)....shown here: http://artisticavenger.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/tropical-wedding-an-artisan-award-entry/ I do intend to try her layout soon...it rocks!
