U is for Ugly Background

I am back again this month with another card for my alphabet series. The letter is U, so I used an ugly background! I have thousands of backgrounds in my stash. When you start playing with products you can't just make one background, you have to keep playing because it is so much fun! I found this background where I had used marbles to ink up card stock. You adhere the card stock to the bottom of a food takeout container, add some drops of reinkers, place a few marbles on top, close the lid and shake the marbles around. I have some pretty backgrounds, but this one looks fuzzy and the colors are not that great. I love adding layers and embellishments on my cards. After all is done the background does not look too bad!

Thinking of You

Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you are having a good day. We are having a rainy day which is good because we have not had rain in a month! I am sharing a card I made today using Tim Holtz's products. I love this coneflower stamp. I just planted a coneflower plant in my flowerbed and I hope it does well. I pulled a gelli plate background from my stash to use on this card. I have hundreds of backgrounds that I have made! I know I will never use them all.
