I wanted to use the gorgeous Paper Artsy Everything Art stamps again and wanted to show the gorgeous image off, so I remembered some very simple stencilled backgrounds that I created months earlier!
The main image was stamped and coloured using Polychromo pencils.
I mounted this onto black card in order for the image to pop.
The background was painted in 1 colour. Once dry I then used clear embossing pasted through a stencil and let it dry.
Once dry I thought that it looked really effective - quite subtle but detailed!
The background was also mounted onto black card that was attached to a card blank.
I added black lace and ribbon, and grey pearls to finish.
I made a second card almost identical to this but using different coloured pencils....
These are now ready for 2 birthdays that are coming up very soon.
Glad I'm not the only one that has backgrounds made and not used!
ReplyDeleteLove the card - background looks very effective!
