How to Create a Soft, Metallic Background feat Craftin Desert Divas Play Time Stamp Set

My card base is some heavyweight white cardstock cut at a standard A2 size. For the stitched frame I cut the same white cardstock using the two largest dies from the Crazy Frames Dies.
For the background I took yet another piece of the same with cardstock and blended my Nuvo Mousses using a make up sponge. I used the colors Aquamarine, Citrus Green and Lemon Sorbet and simply created some horizontal stripes across my panel. I then used the largest die from the Crazy Frames Dies to cut the panel to the same size as the front frame.

At this point I started assembling my card: I used some foam tape to raise the frame and the parts of my images hanging off of it. I then adhered everything to my stripey background.
For the sentiment I used one of the dies from the Flag Banners Dies set, and I added some extra cardstock at the back to raise it a little with respect to the background before gluing it down. I used some liquid glue to attach everything to my card base, and I decided to angle it for some extra interest.
As a finishing touch I added Nuvo Drops pretty much everywhere. 🙂 I used respectively on the blue, green and yellow areas of my background so that everything would match nicely.

I also filmed a video tutorial showing how I created this card, to make it easier for you to follow along.You can watch the video on my YouTube channel by clicking here.
I hope you will enjoy it!
