I got to choose the challenge for February for my local swap group... and went for an easy one... Make Your Own Background. We got some great backgrounds.
My card panel combines ink
smooshing with elegant gold foiling. I began by smooshing the Warm Lipstick and
Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks, then spritzed the panel with Fossilized
Amber Distress Oxide Spritz for added interest. Once everything was completely
dry, I added gold foil using the Altenew Exquisite Marble foil plate, which
gave the background a beautiful, deluxe finish.
The panel was die cut with a Gina K Master Layout die and matted with textured gold cardstock to enhance the shine. For the focal point, I used a floral image from the Altenew Build‑A‑Garden: Morning Asters stamp set. It was gold heat‑embossed, coloured with the coordinating stencils, and die cut before being added to the card. Finished with a Spellbinders foiled sentiment. The combination of foiling, soft colour, and gold accents makes this design feel both elegant and fresh.
I can finally share as my recipient had been away and only recently got to see the card.
