Make your own Background
I chose to make a Gelli background for my creation today..Quite a few photo's I'm afraid
I started by putting some blobs of paint on my Gelli plate
Brayered the paint all over but not completely mixing the colours
Using some tissue paper I made a pattern with one of my stencils
Then laid another stencil over and dabbed some of the paint off the leaves with tissue. Then remove the stencil and lay my card over and press well to get the paint onto my card
With my background cut to size I then decorated it with the Tim Holtz butterfly that had been white embossed onto a scrap of paper that had been used to clean my brayer
The finished card with a sentiment and flower.xxx
