Sending you love

I wonder if you ever see a technique and try it, but then don't know how to use the results of your labours. That happened with the backdrops for this card... it was so long ago that I made them, that I'm no longer sure of the technique I used. I know I used vellum, I think I used alcohol inks and blending solution... but I'm not sure.... anyway I quite like how the chopped up pieces look behind this die-cut. Speaking of which... I have had it for quite some time and never found a use for it before, until this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches
I simply added a plain white foliage die cut (Alexandra Renke) and a simple sentiment (Clearly Besotted)

  2. It looks like alcohol ink and so pretty, Chrissie! It's always nice to use some of those backgrounds that we hoard.
