The pink floral card is cut from a gorgeous piece of 6" x 8" DP by cocoavanilla.com.au, designed and printed in Australia. The distressed pink back layer is from the same paper pad.
The green card is a mixture of India Inks, spritzed with water, then alcohol inks and squirts and dribbles of isopropyl alcohol, then "kissed" against another large sheet of polypropylene.
This technique is 100% pot luck, just keep dribbling inks, alcohol and isopropyl, dabbing with a soft cloth, kissing the two sheets against each other until you are happy.
Even if you are not entirely happy with some of the areas, it makes great die cut feathers, trees etc.
The sentiment is by Kaisercraft, it comes with a background word shape die and a die with the words.
Thanks so much for looking and I hope you have a chance to join in the teaparty and send some happy paper wishes to the Brookhaven Hospice.

WOW these cards make a real impact with their bold backgrounds...they will really brighten up someone's day. I'm especially drawn to the alcohol one (love green!)...well done Miss Susie.

Two super terrific birthday cards Miss Susie! I love using DPs for some quick cards when needed. I have a ton of it too and totally need to use more of it up. Thank you so much for joining in and creating two amazing cards for the teapot cause today.

Hard to pick a favourite! I really like the pink floral and the prettiness of it, but I'm drawn to the cleaner finish of of the stitched white layer on the lefthand card, and the contrast of the white balloons against that amazing background. I think I figured out that one of the secrets to your backgrounds is a hotter climate and faster drying time .

Susie, what great cards you've created! I love the two totally different backgrounds! The floral is gorgeous and then the alcohol ink background is brilliant too! Love them both! The Happy Birthday and balloon die cuts really pop on each card! Some lucky person will be very happy to receive either one of these cards!

Stupendous Susie! Simply stupendous! I adore the pink card because that paper is sooo gorgeous and because I love pink so much. However, I also love green and the masculine card is really fantastic too. I love the card designs for both cards and so will the recipients! ~Karen.

Susie, you created two terrific cards. I love the pink card with the beautiful designer paper and the background for the other card. The white balloons look great against the green background. Hugs!
