Love them both. Wonderful idea to use paper bags. I haven't had a brown paper bag in ages!

Awesome backgrounds for these floral stamps, Christine! Very clever recycling!

I can always count on you for some new and innovative idea! My gosh, who would have thought of using a paper bag! And how impressive it is. I love this idea and love the effects you achieved too.

What a great idea to use the brown bags with gesso and that beautiful blue on which the salt has left some wonderful patterns Christine and the flowers embossed in white really stand out over the top. x

Beautiful colours - the brown of the bag goes so well with the blue. Great choice of stamps and stencil.

Beautiful card and cool use of a paper bag. I love gesso and should try to incorporate it into my cards more often.

What a great use of a paper bag, Christine! The salted paper bag background with the irregular crystal marks looks so unique and interesting! The white heat-embossed images are so pretty against the indigo blue. Leaving a little of bag around the edges is a wonderful touch!

Oh my, such clever and creative use of a paper bag, Christine. I loved looking for all your layered stamping and stenciling on your cards. Two mixed media beauties, my friend. Your salt technique really shows up and adds wonderful texture along with the distressing. TFS your cards and your descriptions and photos of all your Magenta products. Love and Hugs..Nancy
