Two cards from me today with a fun background technique.
The HOW-TO:
- Create a background stamp by placing the alphabet stamps into a stamping platform, just random tp fit the paper you'd like to stamp on.
- Ink them up with a color, preferably a watercolor marker, mist a little with water, stamp it.
Repeat the process with another color. Keep adding to the background until you are happy with the colors.
- Remove it from the stamping platform and heat emboss it with clear embossing powder.
- Optional: Stamp a script onto the background with Versamark ink and heat emboss in clear as well.
- Sponge the same colors onto the background and sprits with water. Leave to dry.
- Stamp the floral background stamp from EllieKnolDesigns with a black acrylic onto cardstock and fussycut some of them.
- Decoupage the fussycut flowers onto the background.
- Stamp a script onto the background and also onto the white flowers as shown, and use some Postage stamps to finish the collage of different elements.
- Optional: Use all the leftover pieces to make paper beads in the same color range.
I hope you like it!
