What a fun technique! I used a stencil for my bg....applied glue using a glue stick over the stencil and waited for it to dry. I then did a wash of red watercolor. The next step was to wipe the bg using a damp paper towel to show off the areas of the stencil touched by glue. Love how it turned out! I added some Inka Gold in copper on the main panel and around the edge, also a thin line of Krylon pen.
Not sure who will be getting this Valentine...I usually make several Valentines and then decide who will receive it. It normally works out that they individually "look" like someone in my family and I assign them ;)
Question: my Inka Gold has really dried out..any way to rehydrate it??

Amazing background technique...does it have a technique name? It turned out so great. Love your copper frame and hearts with your little red tree die-cut. SUPER card!

Wow! Love this background. I'm gonna have to try this technique! Haven't got to play much at all this week! Your card is gorgeous. I usually do the assigning after I make the cards as well, except for some of my grandkids ones.
