I've learnt two things making my background, first I need more practice to use Tim Holtz Distress Resist Spray, definitely a bit heavy handed.

Second I actually had more fun and better results with Watercolour Cardstock obviously been a bit of cheapskate doesn't work. The background was made with the smooching technique with Oxides.

I used Tim Holtz Wildflowers stems 1 and you know I love making white flowers. My sentiment was made with Simon says Stamp Amazing stamps and using Tim Holtz Crochet Thinlets to edge the border.

Did I mention what fun I had that does mean I made more backgrounds so watch out for some more cards.
