Challenge 14: No patterned papers (make your own background papers)
It is my turn (Caro) to set the challenge this week and as I just love messing round with inks and stamps I thought I would set you a challenge to make your own background papers. This means that you are NOT allowed to use any shop bought or computer generated patterned papers. Your own background papers can be as simple as dry embossed plain card or made using inks, stamps, paints, a mosaic of other plain papers, or anything else you can think of! We look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Don't forget, we love to see all your cards but we also accept anything crafty as long as it fits into the current challenge. That includes ATC's, Altered Art, Fat Pages, Scrap Book Pages, Magic boxes, Tags, Book Marks, in fact anything crafty you can think of!
Here is inspiration from the DT and GD for you to enjoy, all using digital images from our sponsor.Challenge 14: No patterned papers (make your own background papers)

Guest Designer Lori made this stunning card using Flower Fantasy. Lori said "I used the Stampin up swirl wheel stamp in Versamark and embossed it with iridescent ice embossing powder".
Caro: I made a tag using colourwash inks and glimmer mist for the coloured background which she stamped over with small silhouette stamps and then added the 'Guarding the egg' image from our sponsor, which she left uncoloured for contrast.
Caro: I also made a bookmark using distress inks (antique linen, tea dye and walnut stain) and stamps for the background and then layered the ink pot and quill from the 'Just a note' image from our sponsor, which she coloured using promarkers.
Diane has decided to go with an embossed background using a cuttlebug folder. The Iris digistamp is from our sponsor and she has coloured it with inktense pencils and a waterbrush. Some organza ribbon, mirri card and sticky gems complete the card.
