Hi Everyone
Well, we are into February already. The days and weeks are passing by so quickly at the moment. I have had the last couple of days at home as I am working at the weekend. I did manage to get in my crafty room for a few hours.
Todays card share is one I have done using a technique for the background that I have been wanting to try for months.
For the greeny/blue background I used shaving foam and inkadinks from Imagination Crafts. I did several pieces of it and I love how each pressing into the foam produces a different look. I used several dies when putting this card together. Scalloped square from Spellbinders, Happy Birthday die - free with Simply Cards and Papercraft, Dali Art Ornate flower die - free with papercraft inspirations. The Happy Birthday die was cut from another shaving foam background and matted onto some blue cardstock. Some dazzlers and gems finished the card.
This is a bit different for me and I really enjoyed doing the background. Can see me using this technique again. Would love to know what you think. I really do appreciate all your wonderful comments.
