Make your own background for Cards in Envy

This card is for the Cards in Envy (short for envelope)  May 20th Challenge- Make your own background.  This Challenge requires that cards can easily fit in an A2 envelope,  has no big bumps from embellishments, and is less than 1/4 inch thick with all the layers)  I was really taken with one of the DT cards for this challenge and decided to try her background technique.   Check out Denise's blog.  She does awesome work.





I am also entering this card in the following challenges:
Three Scrappy Gals Challenge - April Showers Bring May Flowers
Gingerloft Challenge - Happy Birthday!

The Cupboard Trilogy Challenge #11 - Flowers
Whimsie Doodles Challenge - Paper Piecing
Anything Goes Challenge # 93 -  Handmade Backgrounds

Papertake Weekly Challenge - If the Paper Fits

Happy Birthday Carol!!!!

  5. Gosh, Debi, you have been awfully busy! Love all three of your cards. I especially like the take on Beccy's sample with that cute little buggie-guy. All three cards look fun, and very pretty. Funny you mention this card in envy. I created a card specifically for their blog and as I was uploading to their site, I see it cannot be large than an A2 card. ACK! I have never made A2 cards. I did not quite understand their reasoning because it costs the same to mail an A2 card as a 5x7 card. But I was a good girl and quickly removed my card from their challenge. Sigh. LOL Your card is really pretty with the cheery sunshiny background, and wonderful poke-a-dotted leaves. Truly delightful cards, Miss Debi! Thank you, as always, for sharing! hugs, de

  13. This is gorgeous! I love the yellow! I've used plum, brown, blue, olive, garden green and pinks for backgrounds using this technique but I never thought of using such a lovely yellow. Your card is just beautiful. Great job!!
