I just finished watching the movie "the backup plan" and I loved it. But I am not someone who can just sit and watch a movie so decided to make a couple cards in the process.
My friend Yvonne does this great feature on her blog where she introduces us to other crafty people and then does a card challenge. Well this weeks person is Karen and she shared a tutorial on how to make her grid design backgrounds.
For a first try I am pretty happy with how it turned out ~ I see a few things I will definitely change if I do this type of background again. The stamp set I used is by American Crafts and the ribbon is some of the wrinkle ribbon I made this past weekend.
This next card is a new technique that I had to try out once I saw it on my friend Chrissie's blog. You start out by blending your inks for the background and then stamp your image repeatedly in colors going from light to darkest.
I really like how it turned out and know that I will definitely be using this technique on some masculine cards that I need.
Enjoy!
