I never know how a card is
going to get started. Sometimes it's an
image that sparks my Muse. Other times,
it's a new die I want to play with. Frequently
it's a color that winds me up, and that was the case for this card. I reached for the lime cardstock and galloped
on from there . . .
The background on this is
another example of the plastic wrap technique.
This involves adding a few drops
of reinkers to some plastic wrap, misting heavily to distribute, and then
laying a piece of misted cardstock down on it.
The wrap and cardstock are turned over and then the plastic gets mooshed
around and wrinkled in order to concentrate the colors. After it's completely dry, the wrap is
removed and the result is an artsy, mottled, marbled background that looks like
a lot more skill is involved than was actually the case. Love that
. . .
