Gorgeous background turned into two incredible cards. Love the colours and contrasting ideas - stamping with black StaZon and ink lifting with white detailing. xx

Wow, those backgrounds are amazing!

Leslie Miller said...

Interesting how you did these, Christine. First, it's a gorgeous AI background. Never would have thought of spraying the stamped Stazon after. Then way cool to do the AI lift and fill in with a white paint pen. Very striking!

That is one spectacular background! Love the silhouette stamp no the first one and the white ink on the second. You are going to have me shopping again! Beautiful!

Two fabulous cards from one beautiful AI background! Love the garlic flowers combined with the butterflies! And using the white paint pen on the second one provides fabulous contrast.

I love your AI backgrounds Christine. You've picked the most perfect stamps for on top. OUtlining the large bloom in white really makes it pop. xx

Stunning background with the alcohol inks and thank you for the tip about the silver metallic. Stunning effect on the first card and a unique one on the second. Stunning inspiration, thank you x.

Gorgeous cards using that AI background Christine, and I adore both with the pretty black silhouette stamping and then the ink lifting and the white Posca pen which really pops. x
