Was cruising Splitcoast Stampers for some inspiration the other day and found several with hand decorated backgrounds so I dug out this painted background and thought I would embellish it a bit for my card. I lightly brushed white acrylic paint through an all over circle stencil using a foam brush to add dots which I liked very much. One person had cut up her background into three pieces so I decided to do that as well. I first punched out the flowers and then used scissors to cut a line through the holes. I really like how it turned out!! I punched out "BIRTHDAY" on the bottom edge of the bottom piece and punched "HAPPY" out of black cardstock and glued it above the holes. I glued all three pieces to a layer of black cardstock and then mounted that to my green card front!! I added shimmery white punchies to the inside of the flowers. Pretty good!! It still needed a "bit of something" so I added the little dots using a fine tip Sharpie marker and three little black butterfly punchies which I attached with tiny black brads. That was much better!!
It is amazing that creating it such a multileveled process!! I can certainly see me using more techniques for adding more dimension to my own hand decorated papers!!
