These cards use the bleeding tissue paper technique to make the background paper. Rip the tissue paper into small pieces and layer over glossy cardstock. Spritz with water and let sit/bleed for 15 min. or so. Peel off tissue and let dry. Hint: make lots of background papers in many patterns/color combos so you can stamp on and use later.

These are very pretty!
I'm not familiar with this technique, but it sounds fun and easy! I'll have to try it!

Your cards are beautiful! I love that ruffled butterfly stamp, it's on my wishlist. Thanks for sharing the instructions for the bleeding tissue paper technique, I'll have to give it a try.
