A couple of months ago I sat with card stock, stencils and texture pastes to create a bunch of backgrounds before coloring or adding them to cards.
I used one of them for this creation.
The base card is kraft card stock with a layer of white linen card stock.
Choosing a background made with Distress texture paste and Tim Holtz “Honeycomb” stencil I applied Distress prize ribbon and peacock feathers inks.
Once dry I did a technique from over a decade ago…ripping!
This I applied with foam tape.
I die cut a flower with a die from Tim Holtz “Wildflower Stems #1” and glued it to the stenciled piece.
From more white linen card stock I die cut the sentiment with a die from Tim Holtz “Friendship Works:Script”, glued it to kraft card stock, ripped around it and foam taped it to the card front.
Beautiful texture on this card Arlene and I love the blue & turquoise against the kraft card base! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at The Color Hues Challenge! Marcia (DT)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing card Arlene - I honestly thought that the kraft honeycomb was a die cut over the background!! A fabulous result

Arlene, What a great use of your time, making backgrounds to have on the ready! The background is so cool and I love the added texture with the ripped edges, and of course the pop of white! Thanks for being in our gallery at Color Hues!
