Love the background it does so much for the card. The first time I did that crimper the way you did in the middle it just blew my friends mind. She's easy to please!

Thanks for your kind comments...I guess the first card to the gallery is always the hardest to do! Background is soooo easy...I learned it from an SCS sister. Lay out two wipes, one on top of the other. Fold into fourths. Using 2-3 colors of reinker, put several spots of each color on the wipe, staying away from the edges and corners. Fold all four corners back, to give you something to hold onto (the ink side will be down). Pounce on glossy cardstock - or you can add a little twist for a more blended look...also really nice! Have plenty of cardstock ready...the wipes keep going and going! The little dots on my b/g are from the design on the wipes (Target). Hope this makes sense; if not, reply so I can clarify. Didn't have any luck trying it on non-glossy...the wipes are too wet and the paper gets soggy and curls.
