The challenge is to use never before used stuff with an optional theme to use bubble wrap. I remembered a technique I used a while back with Perfect Pearls and plastic wrap to create a faux pearl background so I decided to try it with bubble wrap. I had to laugh when I saw that I used that technique on the last post before my long absence - seems like a lifetime ago.
I made 4 background panels, some were more successful in my mind. I like the pink and orange combo of distress inks.
I ended up selecting the background with the softest color, love the shimmery bubble effect. I used a couple of sets from Unity. The butterfly is from "Only You" and the sentiment from "...May Hope Sustain You". I added some Wink of Stella to the butterfly and a few borders, tough to get the mojo back though. I'll admit that I happen to have a lot of NBUS as I haven't had much time in the craft room and my rate of acquiring new stuff has slowed only marginally.
Happy 5 Year Blogaversary Darnell!
Happy Stamping,

Lovely to see you back Dana. I love the backgrounds you've made and I love the colour combinations. Your card is really lovely.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kirsty!
DeleteI love that now I have a new technique to try! Your results using the perfect pearls with the bubble wrap are sensational, Dana!! Each one is stunning, but I really like the one you picked to make your pretty card! I love that you used a simple layout to make that background the star of the show!
