SB ink paper scissors swap...pretty little dresses

swapbot...hidden pictures atc

at atc elements & techniques, we did a swap using stamps to design a background and then hid certain designs within for our partner to find.  how cool this technique would be to use to include prayerful words as an underlying msg within a design.
