In August of 2007, I participated in two Animal Kingdom swaps. I found a bunch of paper from Imaginisce on clearance at Recollections, and I thought it would be perfect for these swaps. The papers were all from the Trade Winds and Exotic East collections.For this swap, I tried two techniques for the first time: paper tearing and inking. I really liked how they turned out, but I think tearing is too much work and has too much paper waste to do for most swaps, but I will probably use it in my books. I did tear against a ruler, it short, quick bursts, to try and get it to look not so clean. I used "Value Pack" paper for the torn pieces, so I didn't feel quite so guilty for only getting 2 mats per sheet. That could get real expensive if I used Bazzill. Inking, I love, but forget to do it until after I've finished. I was able to buy a bunch of Bazzill Inks from their warehouse sale, so I have a lot of colors to play with. This color, I think, is Ivy.
