Here is how this background was made:
I took a white card stock and put it into an inked up
embossing folder (lavender color).
I added various blotches of PearlEx colors and
Perfect Pearl metallic colors and then rubbed off excess.
I covered the entire surface with matte Mod Podge.
When that was dry I stamped (in Stazon) the little document.
Lastly, I put Perfect Pearl around the edges. This is
a very shiny card, which really makes it pretty.
I wish the sheen would show up.
This will be my entry for PPF. I have added the sentiment
"Thinking of You" on top of ribbon and washi tape.
Below is a digital version I made for the Word Art Wednesday challenge

Lovely card and background!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful card, and I especially like the white writing. It's so hard to photograph the shine in a finished piece, I try all the time but it seldom works. I can just imagine how beautiful it is in person. Faye, thank you also for your kind words over at my site, it warms my heart.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous background with fab textural interest. Thanks for sharing your process Faye.

Hello Faye, You have created a beauty and appreciate your sharing the process. I can imagine the shine. I was wondering what the Modge Podge does? I have some and have used it as an adhesive but not as an overcoat. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful mixed media background - if you send that card out - include the frame to hang it - LOL
ReplyDeleteThe layers make this so rich in color and depth!
ReplyDeleteVery Beautiful Faye...I love the variations! You are getting into the card making groove...good for you!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
I love the art products that you used and the creative way you used them. Did you use heat on the pearlEx? What does the mod Podge do? Blessings, Janet PPF
