Background Created with Just Ink pads

yes, Created with Just Ink pads.

I want to share how this background design was created with just ink pads and shimmer spritzer. So grab your favorite ink colors, some Whisper White cardstock, make a Shimmer Spritzer (link) in complimentary color and let’s do this!!

As you can see on the bottom of this photo I made three different color patterns. One has more corner sweeps, another has softer sweeps and the other is a mix of the two. Want to see how.. Check out the Tuesday Edition of Coffee and Cards here.

Starting with a half sheet of cardstock for each pattern. You will get a lot of mileage out of that half sheet. For the first idea you will add a second layer to your card front. After cutting stamp and add your sentiment. Keep in mind that with the shimmer spritzer you have some “bling” already added.

Yes, I do love me some Purple Posy and butterflies. I am grateful for you my friend… and am willing to share my favorite pretties with you!! 😉

How else could we use this “technique”?

You know I still have A LOT left… help me think of another fun idea?? I think it would be fun to use as just a background for a sentiment or die cut. We know that you can stamp on it… What about some ribbon?? I look forward to hearing your ideas!

Hugs and Have a Great Day getting Crafty!!
