Hero Arts Monthly Challenge

I made a couple of  cards for the Hero Arts Monthly challenge here. This month the themes are Birthdays and Stamped Envelopes and the technique is Layered Backgrounds.

Shari Carroll has a layered stamped background technique video here that looked like a lot of fun so I pulled out some inks and stamps and came up with these cards.
There's lots going on with the focal panel. There's some embossing, stamping, swirly ink application and watercolour stamping. I really like how this turned out with the blues and red/orange shades.

This card also has the same techniques going on except with a different stamp.

I loved playing with this technique and getting all inky! Hope you give it a try!

Thanks for stopping by!
