Today we were to make our own bg. I LOVE making my own bg. This card is also for the CC which I haven't done in quite awhile. Plus we have a new Queen this week. Vicki, aka vdm. Vicki you have such a sweet gallery. I chose this card to case......details....
First off the bg...I stamped a misc. dotted bg stamp from my sister with very vanilla then clear ep. Got home from work and before coming inside I grabbed some leaves off the trees out front.
Took the three colors of the CC, tangerine tango , more mustard and soft suede. Using a leaf as a mask, I sponged around it moving it to different places on the cs and changing which color I was using.
Then I put the leaf on the ink pad, ran a brayer over it, then put it on the cs and brayered over it again. Did this several times. Then wiped all the ink off the eb dots. Put this panel on a tan card.
My stamped leaves are from Stamper Anonymous by Tim Holtz, used three different ones stamping each with a color of the CC. Cut them out, rolled the edges around a pen, them put them on the bg panel.
Added a bow, dropped something on the floor and while looking for it found this feather from my birdie so I put it in with the leaves.
Well Vicki, congrats on being the new Queen!....Hope every has a great weekend!.....TFL :0)
