Karen brought us a simple and impactful technique today. I used Distress Oxide inks and water ~ next one I do I'll try a shimmer spray as Audrie showed in her wonderful tutorial.
This is also for today's CAS challenge to remember back to something that was a favorite in stamping in the past for us. I have to say that aside from heat embossing, when the die cut and embossing machines came out with all the variety of embossing folders I was completely entranced! I remember getting a Cuttlebug and some folders and showing my husband the magic! I actually still do use my folders in the traditional sense quite frequently and still like the look. But today's technique is so quick and fun; each background you make is a little different ~ I love that.

Claudia, this card packs such a visual punch. The bold oranges and yellows are unexpected and fresh! Thanks for bringing this to the gallery today. I agree with you about the embossing/die cut machines.
