    I actually need to learn some background techniques. I rely heavily on embossing folders and have a ton of them. I done some backgrounds with alcohol ink and like that but would like to expand that

    My favorite background technique at this tome is using stencils either with embossing paste or just inks.

    I am not good at backgrounds at all. I tend to just mount whatever I created on a plain card.

    I use distress ink blending for background scenes. If I have stamp sets I like to use the additional stamps to create a complementary background to go with my focal point or alternatively ink through a stencil. If there is going to be a large area of white space I like to use embossing folders to add texture or neutral embossing paste through a stencil. Alternatively using a layer which is intricately die cut as my background. Then of course there are all the lovely papers to choose from which can be used in so many creative ways.

    I am taking it easy these days and using my embossing folders to make back grounds for my cards. I have a lot of these and as I am growing older my hands hurt from blending the inks and using my Vagabond and the embossing folders is a pretty yet painless way to make backgrounds. I’m glad I have collected them from over the years!

    Picking a favorite background is difficult as I like many but I am most excited to try the Ombre background and I love watercolor and it’s variations. I hope to be able to start selling cards to supplement my social security. I recently discovered you on You Tube and it turned into a week long marathon. It has given me many, many ideas and now to narrow down which ones to try first.

    I like creating a background using a single stamp and stamping it repeatedly with a light ink. Helps me stretch out the stamp.

    When a background looks like it will be too plain I will usually go to an embossing folder or a versamarked stamp.
