AAA Birthday Card challenges Game #65 - Background Focus

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's the 1st of the month and you know what that means....... time for a new challenge at AAA Birthday. This month we have a fun theme for you, chosen by our talented  DT member Kateryna, we want to see birthday cards with - 

Background Focus

I tried quite a few different painting/colouring techniques and colour mediums when trying to come up with what to make for this challenge. Here is the end result of my play

I ended up using a panel I created playing with my alcohol inks, which I should do more often. It looks nothing like what I had envisioned, but as it's only the third time I've played with the inks I happy. Turning the panel into a card was difficult, at least to me, but I decided to keep it simple and only added a birthday greeting, a border in the same paper as the greeting and a few sequins. I added it all to a card base and voilà c'est tout.

Products used
Inks: Alcohol ink "Magenta" by Pentart (and Isopropyl alcohol)
Papers: Mirror Card "Holo Waves" by Tonic Studios, Yupo paper and Neenah Solar white cardstock

Die: Happy Birthday die from my stash
Embellishments: silver sequins from my stash
