Make Your Own Background, No Designer Paper



Welcome to all followers and visitors, many thanks for visiting and continuing to leave comments I really appreciate the time you take to do this, a special thanks for the comments on my last card so pleased it made you smile. Apologies if my comments on your posts are brief our internet which is poor at best has been intermittent over the past few days.

Today's  Challenge  at Make My Monday and was chosen by Silvi and the theme is "Make Your Own Background, No Designer Papers " 


My background was made using Distress Inks then a die cut inlaid into the almost circular shape, and another used as a sentiment

Very effective and simple. I’d like to try the technique, I often die cut but forget about the possibility of using the negative as well...

Annette said...

Very effective use of the die and colours.

What a pretty inlaid die cut design! This technique has been on my TO-DO list for ages but I never seem to try it - now I'm going to have to! This CAS layout is so effective and you did such a nice job!
