CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

Hi Everyone

Hope your week is off to a good start.

I am playing along with the Little Red Wagon Challenge again where the theme for this week has been "Create Your Own Background".  I have to admit that this isn't something I have done very often unlike some blog pals who "always make their own backgrounds" and never use design papers.

But I actually enjoyed it once I got started and liked my finished background so much that I didn't actually want to cover it up LOL!!!

This is my finished offering:

This used:

ScrapBerry's Stencil - Stencil Petals
Distress Oxides:  Peeled Paint, Iced Spruce, Spiced Marmalade
Permanent Fineliner Pen
Memory Box Dies:  "98261" Kaleidoscope Butterfly and "98262" Moonlight Butterfly
Julie Hickey:  JHD-CUT-1003 - Layers, Frames & Banners Rectangle Die Set
Julie Hickey:  DS-HE-1063 - Hazel's Sentiment Medley Die Set
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

So that is me for today, I will hopefully catch you again soon.

  4. I know just what you mean when it comes to making your own backgrounds - often they are far too nice to cover up and the same does apply with some patterned papers too, I must say. You've made a super background here and left enough of it for us to appreciate - a lovely card as always. Hugs x
