I'm starting the year by sharing a few cards I made and sent out for Christmas, but didn't have time to post late last year. These were all made with backgrounds I had in my stash. Most times I will make multiple backgrounds when trying out a new technique. I keep them handy to create cards later on.
For details about other supplies I've used on these cards, check out the Card Recipe at the bottom of this post.
Above is made with a brushos background ... the two cards below are made from a recent technique from Group of Cardmakers - Textured Tissue Paper with Dry Embossing. Long name :) ... but a grouping of fairly simple techniques that together, create lovely backgrounds.
