These cards are all made from another home-made background made with distress ink. In this case, I used a "Holly Berry" stamp from oogaloo with Versamark ink on a glossy background. After that dried, I used a brayer to add colored ink to make a background that appears to be a white image on turquoise. I added color to the berries with markers and stickles. These three cards show a variety of ways to make use of such a background. The middle picture shows a border strip cut from the background, with an inkadinkado focal stamped on coordinating paper. The last picture shows a square cut from the homemade background for use as a focal -- in this case die cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities. The first card also uses a portion of the background for a focal, but in this case it is cut close to the holly image and then glued to a square of coordinating paper that is then matted.
