Create your own background papers

This week's bloggers challenge is to create your own background papers, so I've had a nice inky time.

I made my own spray of shabby shutters DI, a touch of broken china DI, perfect pearls neutral colour and water misting it on to white card. I sprayed well over the edges of the card and also blotted with another piece of card that then mopped up the rest of the stray ink on my craft mat. I finished up being able to make three cards with these backgrounds and still have own or two bits left over.

So here is the first card.I stamped down the side with a lovely Magenta stamp, colouring with copics directly on to the sprayed background - I love the way there are some snails hiding. Just the addition of the sentiment panel and the card was complete. There is more of a shimmer to the spray than you can see here.
