Hi everyone. A week ago I shared THIS CARD with a background I made while experimenting with my sprays and cling wrap. I made a large panel that day and used half for my first card, and the rest for today's card. I love the soft colours of this background and wanted them to be the "star", so added two simple, white die-cut leaves and a soft gray, small sentiment.
I still have a panel left using the same sprays, but I covered it with bubble wrap instead of cling wrap. Made for a fun design. Hope to make some cards with that soon.
I'm going to enter this into Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Make your Own Backgrounds.
Off to take my mom to the doctor's this afternoon for a follow-up to her surgery. Hubby and I will stay and have dinner with her, ordering in from a local restaurant. Didn't want to pass along any of the nasty virus both hubby and I had, so we've been keeping a distance from Mom for three weeks. Really looking forward to seeing her today! :)

This beautiful background is perfect for the dainty foliage! Hope you have a good visit with your Mom and enjoying being out!
I've been playing around with making my own backgrounds too. Love how this turned out!
Alas I have no sprays but you sure do make great backgrounds with them, Loll.
Hi Loll,
Stunning card, I do love these backgrounds that you do, the colours blend so well together. Loved your last post too showcasing some other real goodies.

This background really is the star and the simple die cut is the perfect combo-hope you enjoyed your visit to see your Mum and hope you feel better x
I just love the simplicity of this card
An awesome look on this marbled background with the pretty white leaf. I'm liking this double matting that you've done. Really makes this one a standout! Best to your Sweet Mom, and I hope both of you are really on the mend after that nasty virus. Seems to take a toll on energy levels as you're recovering. Big hugs & TFS
Love this technique.

Wow, so striking, Loll ... gorgeous white leaves against that panel of stunning colour! Anita :)

Really gorgeous card, Loll! I love how you blended these pretty colors and how you placed the leaves...sheer perfection!
You've definitely given your stunning background star-billing. So impressive! Hope your mom's appointment went well; I'm sure she loved spending time with you!
