CAS431 - Backgrounds

Challenge Title: BackgroundsHostess: Kia (kiagc)

Date: May 28, 2017


While looking through the gallery I noticed a lot of CAS cards are done in white ... don't get me wrong, I love white and the beauty of a white background. But, to change it up a bit I thought we might pay more attention to our background for this challenge. Use a special technique, or designer paper, or embossing folders - make a different background for today's Clean and Simple Challenge.

Thanks for playing along in this week's CAS challenge!

Normally I would have "The More You Know" written here. Rather than that, I found this website about crafting and thought you might enjoy the read.

Thanks to Anita for letting me know my TLC card also fit this challenge. I rarely combine challenges because I don't take the time to check other challenges until I've posted my cards, so this was a nice coincidence!

Thanks for the quick and easy challenge today, Kia! I may have to try to get a pic in different lighting as my original does not really show the depth of color I got with this technique. Here is my card for now.

[HappyinMarco]

This is one of the earlier cards that I made but I have made quite a few since using this same technique which I think comes out rather nicely.

[HappyinMarco]

This was so pretty for fall and I was trying a new technique. I think it is quite pretty with different colors than I usually use.Autumn Leaves by HappyinMarco - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[Kemernow]

Good morning! A simple Background today of one color of alcohol ink and some blending solution on a felt pad. The "trees" are from today's TLC challenge.

[Crafty Julia]

For today's Background challenge- used a nice bicycle photo for my background, adding a fussy cut sentiment, and a stamped and colored butterfly. Used a simple yarn wrap for my embellishment. Here's with gratitude

[Crafty Julia]

went with a dc top note style panel from Sizzix- applied the ink pads directly, misting them with water, and wiping with a paper towel, then blow drying. Did a grey ink treatment and stamped my fish, crumpling the panel afterwards, then flattening it out. Added simple metal mini brads, and mesh and fabric strip borders. Here's swimming carp
