I CASED this card, Succulent Birthday in asweetjewel's gallery. She inspired me to use a set that I am not sure I have ever used. I stamped on a scrap of Gelli print and die cut. She had done a technique for the background, with a paper towel. I used one with toilet paper, since Melody in the Alpha challenge forum challenged us to use toilet paper or the roll on a card. Now there is a whole back story to this, but I just can't type it all here! I think it may have started out in our DTGD chat thread. LOL Where asweetjewel stamped the bg with a paper towel, I used the textured toilet paper to stamp the bg. I was also inspired by her paper piecing.
Also , this is for the Try It On Tuesday Blog post for a theme of In Your Garden. I used to have a rock garden with cacti in it. LOL Thank you, asweetjewel for your inspiration, and thank you Melody.
More details on my blog: https://foxystamping.blogspot.com/20...technique.html thanks for looking.
Thanks

Sharon, this card is delightful! I got a big chuckle from that sentiment paired with the cacti garden. I'm living the colors and texture in your fabulous tp bg. Thank you so much for the honor of CASEing a card from my gallery.

Sharon, your card is so adorable and I love the paper pieced pots. Now, I have used paper towel but don't think I have tried toilet paper. When I opened your card, I immediately wondered how you did that background....now I know. I will have to try that because it looks great.
