This technique was presented at a get together

Now if I don't tell you would you notice?

Would a non crafter receiving this notice

Now I will tell you the steps

First you do a diagonal strip on a piece of card stock large enough to go behind whatever die cut you want to use

So far so good You folder emboss the background and die cut the opening 

Notice yet?

Layer the opening over the diagonal

Pretty right?

Then decorate

I used a fabric holly that is absolutely gorgeous

SFF 288 ep Background

 

For THIS  challenge you are to make a background using clear embossing powder

I chose the Yin and Yang from the MFP set Tigers

I also embossed the tiger in black

This was an easy challenge

Come play with us

 

 

Distress Ink BG

I have been seeing this technique on blogs
for a month so I am trying it
Here is my effort

 

 

I covered the cardstock with distress ink
then misted the stamp ( a flower and Minnie Mouse)
to stamp into the dried ink
I had a couple of tries before I got what I thought is correct
Then I cut the best of the card piece to use
Now I feel I could use more practice .

SFF Background 287

                                    This week on Speedy Fox and Friends
                                    Pat has put very easy directions to follow
                                        to make the backgound for your project

 

 

I follow the steps using Distress ink I got a sort of blotchy background and didn't like it but I did get to use a stencil I bought a week ago so it is now mine and can be put in its' storage place  

 So not liking the result so much I cut the background to  size and made the card using MFP Stamps Budda and Wealthy Fish

 

 

 

 

 

This is the stencil I used and in person it really does show

 

 

So not being thrilled with the above I tried again

I used Brilliance ink and it turned out lovely

 

 

So for the card I used MFP Budda and Birds of the Orient stamps
