Welcome back to my background series. It is March and we think of this month as being the windy month. So I thought I would use these balloons on my card by BoBunny.
Now to the background. I put a piece of wax paper on top of a piece of glossy card stock and ran it through an embossing folder. The wax from the paper transferred to the card stock and acted as a resist. When I sponged on Distress inks the pattern from the embossing folder showed up!
This is such a neat way to make some fun backgrouds.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

The background is beautiful. I love those colors. I wonder what it would be like to ride in a balloon?

Fantastic background and I love the balloon stamps! I’m not sure I have stamped directly over a wax paper resist. I guess i was thinking it wouldn’t stamp well. But yours looks great!
Heidi, I used my stamp potioner and that helped a lot with the stamping. I had to stamp it several times.
I rode in a hot air balloon many years ago for about 2 hours in the Fall. It was a wonderful and peaceful adventure. I hope you all can experience it sometime!
That looks like a great technique, will have to give that one a try :) Very windy here too!
Thanks for sharing your technique. I can't wait to try it. It made a beautiful background. Thanks for playing along with us at PIP Challenges.
What a fabulous background - perfect for the hot air balloons. I have to try this technique!! Thanks for the awesome inspiration!
