Hi bloggers! It;s a clean and simple card today, but I just love the way the background came out! I started with a piece of white card and used
Distress Oxide inks on it. Using
Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean and Black Soot, I blended the two Blues into the card and put a couple of layers so the colour was quite intense. I used the
Black Soot around the edges to give it a sort of frame to draw your eye inward. Next, I used both a
silver paint pen and a white paint pen and splattered them generously across the card. The two colours of paint pens gave it more depth, like looking a stars in the sky. Next I cut the
Star of Wonder top layer in white, the middle layer in black and the backing in
Antique Silver card. I assembled it and attached it in the upper right corner with foam. I cut the
Christmas Wishes sentiment in white and glued it in the lower corner. I added random dots of
Glossy Accents around the card. The card was then completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue. It's different but I really like it, when you show us these various inked and other techniques you do for background work I'd love to be able to see them in the flesh so to speak as we all know photos don't always do our projects justice, as crafters we have a vague idea how they look, but for real - I bet it has the wow factor. Hope your day is as bright and lovely as today's inspiration xxx
Morning Sue, this card ticks all the boxes for me, it is really beautiful. Have a great day all. Bx

Love this Star & you really can’t go wrong with clean & simple! I would love to know what paint pens you use. I can’t get anything to splatter like that. Thank you SUE.
Good Morning Sue.
A real beauty in every way. I really must try that splattering technique as it's so effective.
Have a great day.

Hi Sue, a great CAS card, the Star of Wonder is a lovely die and I really like the deep colours of the background. Your Christmas Wishes die has been red hot with use here as it fits perfectly with so many of the different cards I have made.

Great background creation. Yes, it does look like looking up at the stars with the blend of colors and the spattering of the two paint pens. I can't get my paint pen to spatter.
Clean and simple but striking and bright. Lovely!

Hi Sue. Love this background and I am amazed how you have managed to get the flicks of silver and white so evenly over the card. I definitely will try this one out as I think it is so effective.
