Cling Wrap background using Black card stock

Hi all, I'm back for the mid month reminder as Guest Designer for CAS Mix up's January Challenge Cling Wrap stamping and your choice.


This time I used a black card stock with some Lindy's Stampgang sprays and some perfect pearls mixed with water.  It's hard to see but the background really shimmer.

You can see from the close up the watercolour really gives and interesting background, in real life it's quite sparkly.  Don't forget to use other colours of card stock when you try the cling wrap background.
Also don't forget to head over to the design teams blogs to check out all the amazing examples.


I actually created a large sheet for my background the rest of the cards will appear over the next few weeks.  I randomly stamped 2 different Impression Obsession stamps Lunar Landing a Seth Apter stamp and Nautilus over the card stock after I created the cling wrap background and then heat embossed in white.

Paper: 110lb white, 110lb black
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Memory Box die, Lindy Stamp gang powders, perfect pearl spray, white detail embossing powder.

Wow..Christine, your Amazing, Creative CAS Cling Wrap design is full of beautiful techniques. I have not tried colored cardstock or stamping over any of my cling wrap backgrounds (my stash keeps growing).

Your galactic background with your die cut grass and dragonflies overlay is just Stunning, my friend. TFS and so happy you were our GD this month. You have mastered the technique:-) Hugs..

This has to be one of my favourites ever of your cards - I think it is fabulous. Love the cling wrap effect you got on the black and the great addition of the moon and the die cut.
