To make my main panel, I took the Wide Stripes Background stamp and colored each strip in different colors (Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Baked Brown Sugar). Before I stamped them, I spritzed the stamp with water and stamped onto watercolor paper. Once the panel was dry, I stamped the sentiment in Wild Wasabi.
I layered the panel onto a 5" square Baked Brown Sugar base and adhered tiny strips of Wild Wasabi down each side of the watercolored panel.
I cut some stars out of Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Baked Brown Sugar and placed them at the top right and bottom left of the center panel. The inside matches the front.
Thanks for visiting.
