Handmade Background #22

 Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you will have a blessed one. I made this Thanksgiving card using one of my backgrounds in my stash. 



Stamps:  Pumpkin - Inkadinkado      Saying - Just for Fun
Italian Poetry - Hero Arts

For this background I patted Distress Oxide inks on my craft mat, spritzed the inks with water and smooshed watercolor paper through the inks. I did this several times, building up layers of color. I then splatted water droplets over it all. I like the rusty look this gave. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope your Thanksgiving will be filled with joy, family and gratitude.

Handmade Background #21

 Hi and welcome to my blog. I can't believe that there is just one more month left in this background series! This year has flown by. At least I will have used 24 of my many backgrounds that I have stashed away.



Stamp:  Bird - Illustrated Faith
Dies:  Wreath - Spellbinders       Saying - DieSire
Punches:  Fern Leaf and Maple Leaf

I made this background by applying tan, mahogany, and teal acrylic paint to the top of my card. I took an old credit card and swiped the colors down the card to give it an old wood look.  

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed day!
