'MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND PAPER' CARD

One of the techniques I learned at a recent workshop was using TH distress inks, and flicking water onto it, to create beautiful wicking.  I used it to create the background for this card:


I sewed on some punched/embossed flowers, using sequins and beads:


I also used ribbon (black satin) and a peel off sentiment, to create my CAS card.

Thanks for visiting today.
