Happy Monday!!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Today's challenge is a background technique. It is versatile and can be dressed up or down. We are going to create a tone on tone background using Versa Mark and clear embossing powder (I am still on a mission to use my stash and the embossing powder doesn't get pulled out as often as it once did.)
To create your background, use a solid cardstock (white works but it shows up better on colors.) Use a background stamp, a border stamp, smaller filler stamps, or even a stencil or embossing folder for your background image. "Ink" up your image with Versa Mark and heat emboss it in clear. Then build your card around it. It is perfect for CAS cards! I know this is a throwback technique but I couldn't find where we had done it as a technique challenge so I hope it is a simple, fun project for you on this Monday morning.
I can not wait to see what you come up with!!
Hugs,
Lyn
