Challenge #560 - Give Us Your Background!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope this finds you all well and raring to join in our challenge this week. We would like for you to GIVE US YOUR BACKGROUND. I'm not talking genealogy here, I'm talking alcohol inks, distress oxide ink, paper piecing, smooshing stenciling, gelli pad, collage...there are so many ways to make your own background paper for your creation.

Here's mine -

The background was one that was in my stash. I think the pink/red is probably distress oxide ink smooshed on to water color paper. It drives me crazy after you foil something and have all that lovely color left, so I added some transfer gel and some gold leftover foil and this is what I got.

A little bit more background here (not the kind we are asking for in the challenge)...I want to dedicate this card to the Girlfriends, who are absolutely blessings. I had a bunch of stuff going on last week and they were right there to give moral support and offer help. They are the BEST!

We would love for you to join us this week. I'm am looking forward to seeing all the different ways you create your backgrounds. For more ideas, give the Girlfriends a visit and leave them a little love.

The Story

One day a group of girlfriends got together to play with their papers, stamps, markers, ribbons, buttons and the rest of their seemingly endless supply of other 'have-to-have' scrapbooking and card making goodies. It was so much fun to talk, share, laugh and create with each other that they decided to create a blog that would motivate, inspire and challenge them on a weekly basis to use some of the supplies they have acquired. They also thought it would be fun to have all the other girlfriends out there join in and share their creations based on the weekly challenges. So, grab your wagon full of goodies (we know you have one!), get creative and have fun!
