Splitcoast Tutorial: Plaid Backgrounds

This week's tutorial is all about Plaid Backgrounds! Our author, Beverly Stewart, is a teacher, and she's sort of fearless in her invitation to experiment and play. Here's the sample I made...

This is also a peek at a new stamp from Impression Obsession, coming soon in their Fall/Winter release. I have some fun new stamps coming as well, quite a few with a fishing theme, which will be so useful in our new home near the lake!

I made my background using Zig Clean Color markers and Pilot Fountain Pens - I love the way these write! I would have rather used a wider brush to blend, but those were packed at the time I was working... I'll definitely have to revisit this when I can unpack a bit.

Hope you'll give this a try!
