Its all in the background. Daring Cardmakers Challenge.

 Hello and welcome back to my blog.

I've not blogged for the last two weeks and it seems like ages. Its been a tough few weeks as we lost our Aunt to cancer. We're never prepared for these things and it sure does take a toll on our emotions, so today I am trying to get back to creating and being kind to myself. The Daring Cardmakers have a new challenge this week and it's all about backgrounds being the main focus on your card.

 I always have some pre-prepared backgrounds as it saves a lot of time. I usually create a fair few backgrounds while I have all of my inks and sprays out. It certainly pays off when you need to create something quickly. This background was also created recently and seems to fit perfectly with the challenge. I have used distress oxides to create this background and an Aall and Create stencil and stamps to add interest. I stamped and coloured one of the houses from Janet Klein's stamp sets and added the cloud and sentiment from some of her other sets. I added some washi tape to the base of the house so it looked like a path. To finish it off I added some sparkle using a sparkle pen. 

I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog or our Facebook page Daring Cardmakers Create and Share.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you all a very happy weekend. Check out all the inspiration from the DT over on the Daring Cardmakers blog https://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com
