Our Use up your Background cards Challenge

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

Karen 

Karen's Description:

Here’s a background made of a laminating sheet with glitter and small stars trapped inside So easy to do but have decided chunky glitter would have been better 

Can’t get a photo of the shine.

I made a frame to hide the glue from the laminator sheet.

Karen I remember having a go at this technique when you shared it with us a while back, its so hard to capture how sparkly things are but I can imagine that chunky glitter just lights up when the sun or your Christmas lights hit it. The pretty poinsettias look so delcate in vellum,  the gold foliage ties in beautifully with the sentiment.  

Thank you so much for taking part Karen XXX 

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

I used an AALL and Create stamp which I stamped a few times to build up a background. I used distress oxides, and spritzed with water before stamping. Tim Holtz butterfly and The Stamp Market sentiment..

Such a lovely card Sonia, such a simple background idea but boy does it look incredible!  The butterfly and sentiment embellish the background perfectly while allowing the background to shinem

Thank you so much for getting a card made after such a busy week XXX

Lilian's Description:

This is my card for this week, I call it faux scraps.

I used washy tape to mask of random shapes.

Then used all the tiny stamps, different I each shape.

Allowed to dry the used my Japanese water colours to fill in the background.

Tim Holtz stickers to add the messages.

Have a good day. Lilian

Wow, wow wow!  I absolutely love the technique you had used, your design is so bright and colourful and it looks like a collection of little works of art!! 

So incredibly inspirational,  thank you so much for taking part XXX

Maria's Description:

1 I found a piece leftover from Gilding flakes. Cut the card with the die, kept it in and stamped a happy birthday with new stamp from temu.

2  is made from a piece with Glitter paste through a Stencil. Made a Heat embossed Frame in black and a little flower with some Crystals.

Oh Maria I love that die you have used on your first card,  is that a Temu one?  It looks so effective with the Gilding Flakes behind. 

That stencil you have used for your second card background is amazing,  I love the pattern and having the glitter makes it a real celebration card 

Thank you so much for takibg part in the Challenge Maria XXX
