My Creative Monday for Magenta - Fun collaged backgrounds

 

Two cards from me today with a fun background technique. 
The HOW-TO: 
- Create a background stamp by placing the alphabet stamps into a stamping platform, just random tp fit the paper you'd like to stamp on. 
- Ink them up with a color, preferably a watercolor marker, mist a little with water, stamp it.
 Repeat the process with another color. Keep adding to the background until you are happy with the colors. 
- Remove it from the stamping platform and heat emboss it with clear embossing powder. 
- Optional: Stamp a script onto the background in various areas with Versamark ink and heat emboss in clear as well. 
- Sponge the same colors onto the background and sprits with water. Leave to dry. 
- Stamp the floral background stamp from EllieKnolDesigns with a black acrylic onto cardstock and fussycut some of them. 
- Decoupage the fussycut flowers onto the background. 
- Stamp a script onto the background and also onto the white flowers as shown, and use some Postage stamps to finish the collage of different elements. 
- Optional: Use all the leftover pieces to make paper beads in the same color range. .  

I hope you like it!
