Becoming part of the background.
It’s Technique Tuesday! When you are not sure if you want something to stand out then don’t let it. Instead glue on your accent and then emboss it. By embossing it you will give the illusion that it is all one piece. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂
Look at your paper too.
