Acrylic Batik

Herma's technique for the day was "Acrylic Batik"!  Just what I was going to do next week.  So I already had a couple of backgrounds prepared:

First of all I stamped Mike's Mosiac Frame on white and embossed with clear embossing ink.  Then I dabbed on some acrylic paint (Tim Holtz disress paint -- Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry)

Here is the result:

 I just made a simple card out of this to keep the background as the focal point.

 Here's another one using Mustard Seed and Salty Ocean:
