Hello Stampers!
Well I did not get as much done as I had hoped yesterday. I had some errands to run and then Jess and I had to go grocery shopping. Needless to say that took longer than we had wanted.
My card today was another one I saw on Pinterest. Pam Steckman shared a card where she created the background using a video from Stampin’ Up. I wanted to see if I could use the idea to create a Halloween background.
I followed the directions from the video but my background did not turn out very well. Usually I don’t share my flops but just tell you about it. I did take a picture and will share it with you so you can see I don’t always have success the first time. Here is the picture of my flop.
The original video used Whisper White cardstock. I decided to do the same technique but this time use watercolor paper. It was much more successful the second time. I don’t know why it didn’t work like the video with the Whisper White cardstock. I want to keep playing with this idea to see if I can get it to work with the Whisper White. I have some ideas to try I just hope it works.
After switching to the watercolor paper, I like the way it turned out. Here is my card with the new background.

I love the look of the background. I used some retired ds paper for my envelope.
Thanks for visiting me today. I am headed to the yarn store for a while to see my friend and knit. Have a Great Day!
