For my bg, I used the alcohol smooshing technique that I learned from Loll Thompson .
Used alcohol ink greens and silver fixative to make the bg, (this is a bg piece that I actually had left over from another project that you can see hereif desired). Die cut the opening, the gull and trees, stamped the sentiment, and assembled with dimensional tape. Love how this bg turned out.
Gorgeous card! Love that beautiful alcohol ink background with nothing but the pure white die cuts. So elegant! p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 20.0px; font: 13.0px Arial}span.s1 {font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #141724}Thank you for playing along with the http://stamplorations.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/CAS%20challenge">STAMPlorations CAS Challenge.
