I recently watched a Joggles video on creating Dendritic Prints using acrylic paint and loved the effect.
The meaning of Dendritic is having a branch form resembling a tree, which is what you get when you put acrylic paint sandwiched between two pieces of plastic and separate them.
To get your print separate the plastic sheets and then place your card stock on the paint.
These are such easy cards to make, perfect for topping up your stash for Christmas, especially as you get 2 prints for every sandwich of acrylic paint.
I used Art Alchemy Opal Magic paint, it has a wonderful shimmer and mixed golds or opals with the base colour. this one is a mix of opal green and blue.
I'm entering this into the following challenges

That Art Alchemy paint is beautiful - "Opal Magic" is the perfect name for it - what a gorgeous colour. And what a perfect background for those images.
Gorgeous background using your new Dendritic Print technique with the gorgeous Art Alchemy "Opal Magic" acrylic paint. TFS the link to the technique. Looks like fun and easy inky background technique, Christine. I must try. Love and Hugs..Nancy
Such a cool technique with even cooler results. Beautiful artsy cards.
Wow! What an awesome background, Christine! I don't have any metallic acrylic paint. I wonder if a little Perfect Pearls or Shimmer paint worked in would give the same effect? I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration!
Ooooo what a simply stunning CAS Xmas scene and thanks for joining us at Octobers Rudolph Days Challenge, Luv Sam x
I just watched the video and how cool is that! You got such a beautiful background using that Opal Magic paint. The shimmer is lovely. Oh my, one more thing to do!
I just watched the video on this cool Dendritic Print technique. Thank you again Christine for sharing. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Ohhh ....another fun technique for me to try Christine. A stunner of a card and thank you for the inspiration x.
Oh my gosh I just love the icy effect from this technique as well as your color choices. Your choice of stamps is so perfect for this too. There is always something to be learned from your posts. Thanks for sharing! This is amazing!
Gorgeous mix of colours and products to get these amazing backgrounds, Christine. Fun way to make two quick backgrounds. xx

Well I learned something new... What a clever technique and your result is amazingly beautiful TFS!
what an awesome technique to create your lovely background ... so very glad you joined our Creature Feature at Jingle Belles.
I always learn so much from your pasts! This is a very cool technique on your card.
The background is superb as well!
Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days Challenge.
Oh, I love this! It's not only interesting looking, it has a lot of texture, too. I jotted down your instructions. Thank you! Beautiful card!
WOW! What a fantastic background, Christine. I love the unique effect. Bonnie asked if this effect could be achieved with other paints ... I used to experiment with Inka Gold and it had a similar effect. But Inka Gold has sharp colors, and it's not quite the same thing.
Wow, oh wow. Absolutely gorgeous background! Need to try this! Thanks so much for sharing with us in our challenge over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog this month! We appreciate you joining us!
Hugs,
