                                  Make It Monday Graduated Background

close up  of the pull cord

This is without flash so it came out a bit dark.


Nichole from PTI showed us how to make a graduated backgrounds. Mine came out a bit blended compared to hers. I have not used this set so I figured I better use it before my new stamps come in.
 I think that might be a rule of Janelle’s!

Stamps, dies and paper from Papertrey Ink

Have a great day!
