I wanted to have a go at making my own background paper for the 75 Creative Card Challenges Week : Challenge #49. I'm not sure this qualifies as background paper - more like inside paper - but I did make it myself LOL! When I saw the CASology Blue cue card this week, and City Crafters Winter Blues Challenge the first thing I thought of was this stamp from Inkadinkadoo, and I couldn't wait to get inky. I used a series of foam make-up pads to swipe my rainbow series of stripes across a piece of watercolour paper using Distress Inks and then using a rather wet, large paintbrush, liberally and repeatedly splattered before drying off with a heat gun. Blue is negative die cut usig MFT Dynamics tall letters, perfectly proportioned for this weeks CAS-ual Fridays Long and Short Challenge. In case you are wondering, the finished size of my card is 4 by 8 inches.
Oh! My! This is so clever and the result is completely stunning! Wow! Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week, Lyndal!
