#138 Make Your Own Background

Pamellia is hosting today. She would like to see something that you have created using a background you made yourself. So NO designer papers please.

This is how the team interpreted Pamellia's theme

I just love making my own backgrounds, so I decided to do three different layers with three different background designs. I used distress inks, stamps, stencils, crackle paint and home made texture paste to create three different looks.

Josephine

For the background of this, I started with white paper and shaded it with Pan Pastels. I then embossed it using an Embossalicious folder, and added some further Pan Pastel to the embossed areas. I completed with an sentiment and hand-made flowers.

Bec

I have used the shaving cream technique for my background and then when dry stamped over the top.  Your cards smell a treat too!

Vania

Marlene

For this card I used Black Soot and Milled Lavender for the Background

Indigo Blu, Sheena Douglass and Inkylicious Stamps

Jackie

I decided to play with my Brusho paints to make the background for this card, then overstamped it in black archival ink with an inkylicious flower stamp.

Julie

I have used distress inks for the background and Sheena Douglass a little bit scenic stamps.

Sally

I have embossed some watercolour card, then painted the feathers before adding gilding wax to the raised areas. The stamp was also water coloured and a gold heat embossed sentiment to finish.

Mary

I used freebie stamps and distress inks for my background. The central image was also from a freebie stamp.

Carole

For my background I used Aqua Tints and Gesso, with stencils, stamps and a bit of embossing.

Kimx

I have used some pieces of Cut'n Dry foam and a green Kaleidacolour ink pad to make the background to my card.

Lin

I have used a Moroccan Tile mask and Prima Color Bloom Sprays to create my background. More details on my blog.

I find it easier to do this sort of background in layers, but with a rough plan of what is going where before I start, then building up distress inks in light layers, and overstamping this with background stamps in the same colours.
