Hello, Kraftie Friends!

We’re sharing holiday inspiration projects for 25 days at Paper Sweeties from December 1st through the 25th! 
And today is my day...

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

Do you like creating your own background?
Last week, I was playing with Yupo Paper + alcohol inks (click HERE to see the card)...and today, I have 2 more cards...

On the first one, besides Yupo Paper + alcohol inks, I also added some stamping:

I dropped some red, blue, white alcohol inks and blending solution on Yupo. Sometimes, I'll move the paper to spread the inks. After it dried, I die cut the panel, stamped some numbers (Club Scrap Delft Art Nouveau unmounted stamps) and let dry.
I stamped "Hello" (Club Scrap Delft Greeting unmounted stamps) on the card base and trimmed the Yupo panel to leave a gap for the "Hello" sentiment.
Then, I added some enamel dots.

Challenges:
1. Simon Says Wed: Bit O' Green
2. Word Art Wed #274-#275: AGoes




After the Yupo paper dried (yellow, blue, red  and white alcohol inks + blending solution), I die cut a doily.
For my own background, I stamped "shoes" (Delft Greeting unmounted stamps) on light blue textured cardstock. Then, I stamped crackle texture (Delft Jumbo unmounted stamps).
I die cut a panel, added the doily, a white ribbon and stamped "celebrate" (Delft Greeting unmounted stamps).
Using 2 images from Delft Digital Kit, I fussy cut them and adhered them on with foam tape.
Finally, I added a wooden dot and doodled on it using the blue Gel Pen from Delft Gel Pen Set.
