At Crafty Creations, the challenge is to make/create your own backgrounds. I decided to try 3 on one card. 2 worked:) I stamped the blue berries in vintage Ink (Floral) and cut it out. I took black card stock and stamped and embossed the Happy Birthday in silver. I used chalks on the black but that didn't come out at all in the picture. The first background I used shimmering mists in blue and sparkly silver..oh yeah I first used my cuttlebug, then I sponged on lavender and red from my memories ink pad...and then the shimmering mists. The other background, I used perfect pearl powders in mystic blue, bronze and dreamsicle. I brushed them on and then layered the card. I finished it off with little crystals and silver border stickers. I really enjoyed making this one but boy are my fingers blue!Sunday, May 2, 2010

ReplyDeletePssst...in answer to your question....the orange part of the card is actually a Martha Stewart punch.
