I am really far behind in Christmas card goals this year. Now that it is summer, I think I will have more time to catch up. I will start catching up with these two cards.
The first background was made with heat embossing on watercolor paper. I then used a square acrylic block to apply distress inks (spritzed with water) to specific areas. I ended up liking the controlled, but not totally controlled look of this!
The second background was a technique I tried with stencil resist. It didn’t work, but I liked the background anyhow.
Thanks for visiting!

Thee are so cute! Both of your backgrounds are wonderful, but I really like the first one. Great job!
Fantastic cards and I love the cute bear and bird images. And, my favorite is the first one with that snowy look to it.

Love those backgrounds, great technique!
Beautiful and very sweet cards Heidi, love the image and your colours, Kate x
Love them both, those two are just too cute together, love the little touches of pink on them and don't you just love if a background didn't turn out the way you were imagining that it should be it still looks good :)
