Hello crafty peeps! Double D Challenges is starting a new challenge this week and the challenge is to make your own background.
I confess that I'm not very good at using techniques. I tend to go the easy route and use printed papers for my backgrounds since I have enough to last me two lifetimes.
Today's card was a delight to make and a good opportunity to pull out some neglected glitter glitz gel.
Please take a moment to visit Double D Challenges to see more amazing designs from the talented team.
Thanks for stopping by!
This is so pretty! Love the wordy background and the brick one that's all glitzed out--very pretty! (my 2 jars are rock hard lol) The floral is beautiful and the sentiment ties everything together! Perfection!
ReplyDeleteOh my friend this is just gorgeous! LOVE that floral sticker and you have certainly showcased it perfectly with your beautiful backdrops! LOVELY, LOVELY card!! Great Job ... I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm swooning over this one Birgit...it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! What a gorgeous flower sticker and I just love it against all the sparkle on the bricks from the glitter gel you used! This card is probably blinding in real life! Beautifully done my friend...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteStarting with that gorgeous 'sticker' was a brilliant idea, Birgit! I love your glittery bricks and the black scripty panel really sets a great stage for the whole design!
ReplyDelete=]
This has just the right amount of glitz and glam! So pretty, Birgit!
ReplyDeleteYou and me, both, Birgit. I'm not real technique oriented, but on those rare occasions I do enjoy it. I love how you combined the different elements here. Stenciling the glitter glitz after the sticker had been applied is rather genius as it blends together so nicely. The scripty paper in the background with the white on black sentiment over top completes the mood of your gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creation, Birgit! The dark script background paper is the perfect contrast to the sparkly brick stenciling. Love the floral image. It sure doesn't look like a sticker.
ReplyDeleteThe 'wall' is a lovely background for the bunch of roses. So very elegant!

Wow Birgit this is so beautifully created, and all that pretty sparkle, it's just fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteWell, for someone that does not do techniques, you pulled this one off this pizzas! To combine the scripty background with the brick is creative. But them you used the sparkles here and there to jazz it up. Winner in my book!
ReplyDeleteI love how you did your background with the sticker, great results, that is a lovely sticker too and I do like the black background behind, all came together so lovely. I am with you I tend to go to my hoard of papers first :)
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty, and that background lends itself perfectly to the focal. I love the soft colors and feminine design. This is just spectacular.
ReplyDeleteJust love the look of this. What a beautiful image and card!
