Highly Textured Background



I submitted this card to VSN for their March issue so I didn't want to post it to my blog until the March issue was published. The card didn't make the magazine per se but it was included in the art gallery on line. So here it is for friends and family to view. I love this card because of the ephemera Inka Mystic fairy . She seemed perfect for the background.

Magazines, in particular those that represent the stamping industry, prefer submissions that incorporate some stamping. This card focused on the background and actually had no stamping with the exception of the texture plate for the background effect.

Carolyn, This is Gorgeous. They missed the boat by not including it. You just never know what their looking for.

Your textured backgrounds are amazing! I think the magazine was crazy for not properly publishing it!

Your background is amazing and the little fairy does blend with it flawlessly. Beautiful card!
