Brilliant re cycling Christine - stunning cards! x
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.
Very cool technique and look, Christine. Beautiful color and images. Lovely card. You are soooooo creative! Hugz
So very cool, Christine. Love the look of watercoloured on paper bags! The salt leaves a fabulous background for your gorgeous flower images. xx
Always so inspirational and both cards are fabulous Christine x.
OMWord, you just keep on inspiring! You can do it all!
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
Gorgeous cards and very clever recycling, Christine! I love that you chose paper bags for your technique...Great job! xx
Very eye-catching cards! It is a surprise to use a gray paper bag to create these amazing backgrounds. All the techniques used here produce stunning end results. So much beautiful inspiration Christine !!
