A Batik Background Tutorial

Hi Everyone and happy Tuesday to all of you. Today for the first time in 10 days, our little boy actually feels and looks healthy. Man he has had a rough go the past while. Nice to see he is bouncing back.
A few days ago I did my march 1st tutorial over at Scrapbook Star and I just had to share the card. I love love love how this background turned out and if you'd like to give it a whirl, you can find the tutorial here.

For the background I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (one of my favorite products in my craft space) and they really finish the background beautifully.
Here is the card. A happy birthday to any of you that are celebrating a birthday this month.

Love that color combination too.

Today I'm watching the Design team reveal over at GCD Studios. Man they've got a stellar line up for this term.

Hope you all have a fantastic day today. Let me know what your favorite technique is. I'd love to know.

EDITED TO ADD: I just found out that I am one of the Spotlight girls for the GCD Studios Design Team WAHOOOOOOOOOO!

  7. Gorgeous card, Erika! Your background is amazing! I don't know that this is a technique, but I think I'd have to say that my favourite thing to do is intricate cutting with my scissors. I especially love cutting flowers and butterflies out and popping them off the project with dimensionals. I think it gives a nice effect. Funny, I used to hate scissors, now I find them therapeutic! lol :)

    Glad to hear your little man is feeling better. Big congrats on your spotlight on GCD Studios! Take care! :)

    Hugs,
    Julie
