IO's new challenge is Beautiful Stamped Backgrounds. I began with using sticky canvas...yes...we're STILL having a fling, and I couldn't be happier! There's a lot to be said for consistency, and when I get this kind of fab consistency with sticky canvas, well, this could end up being a long term love affair.
I used by mini blenders and sponged Peeled Paint, Barn Door Red, Rusty Hinge and Wild Honey. The, I misted it until the colors blended then heat dried it.
I cut the wheat out of watercolor paper that I'd used yellow ochre, a little red and lemon yellow on and adhered it with a glue dot. The sentiment is from IO and since the background was so saturated, I thought I'd stamp the sentiment on acetate. In person, it looks great! On camera, it looks like vellum. But it looks much better than having any solid color breaking up the flow of color.
A neutral ribbon finishes it off! More later...I've got 2 more big projects to knock out tonight!!!

GORGEOUS! What a beautiful fall background and love the soft stamping! I even have some of that burlap ribbon but had no clue what to do with it! What a wonderful finishing touch it made on this!

Stunning card. All the elements are perfect. Great idea to stamp the sentiment on vellum...I will have to remember that. The colors you chose are beautiful and the wheat looks great. Pinned and faved.
