When I found the other day that the grapes we'd bought were packaged on top of a foam tray, I thought I definitely had to try it. Last night I etched a lion figure along with some words (mirror image) for my dad's Father's Day card (he loves lions). I decided to paint a layer of black followed by a layer of brown. I liked the bi-colored effect. I'll definitely be using this crafting technique in the future. Thanks so much for the idea, Valerie! ~Bekah I know it’s been several days, but I really liked this post and kept the idea in the back of my mind.

Another thought on getting the black on the tray is a brayer with stamping ink. You roll the brayer across the pad and then roll ink onto tray...I'm going to try that with my little ones. Thanks for all your tips and ideas...I love your site. One thought on the meat tray is asking the butcher at the grocery store for a clean one.
