Marbled Thanks


Today's card is for the Paper Players.


I had a lovely piece of marbled background in my UFO box that seemed perfect for the autumn colours in the challenge image.


I used the shaving cream technique and created a bright colourful background. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and trimmed the panel down. I used scraps of co-ordinating colours of cs to cut three wildflower die cuts. The panel is popped up on fun foam.

A brief change from Christmas cards!!  But back to them tomorrow!





Supplies:
Stamps - Hero Arts sentiment
Ink - Oxide Walnut Stain, various reinkers
Paper - white cs, mixed media cs, scraps of red, brown, and blue cs
Size - A2
Accessories - shaving cream, Tim Holtz wildflower dies, clear embossing powder, fun foam

    What a pretty combination of colors and love that you were able to match the die cuts to the background. I need to do that technique again, been a while. I sure understand the need to break from Christmas cards especially for as many of them as you do.

    This is the most beautiful marbled background, Susan! I love all these colors and how well they play together! The dark colored wildflower die cuts are a wonderful contrast!

    This is a special marbled background. Have not tried this technique yet. Those solid coloured die cuts flowers beautifully match and are the perfect compliment to this card. xx

    I wish my UFO box contained such treasures! I love how you've added the die cuts to the marbled ground - fabulous look! The wide white border was an excellent decision as it really lets the main image shine. Thank you for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
