I used the template that Judy1223 shared during the Shapes challenge. When I made these for that challenge, I used patterned paper. Since I have had an absolute brain freeze about this week's background challenge, I went back to what was fun and redid them with the background stamps. I like these much better than the first time I made them!! I used the Dots and Flowers, Houndstooth, Screen Shadow, Four Leaf Grid and Raindrop background stamps. I stamped in VersaMark and used gold, silver and clear embossing powders. The hardest part was the giraffe's eyelashes which don't even show in the photo!

I am prepping a moleskine XL cahier to become a future journal by giving the pages some colour with gouache.

I found this little guy and thought he would look good on an apple. I actually kept him in a little worm hotel (jar) with leaves and sticks for a day until I was ready to shoot.

This week we are focusing on background stamps at Simon Says Stamp and Show.

I wanted to use lots of background stamps on my card and ended up using twenty different stamps, most of them from Hero Arts. When I use distress inks or distress stains on my craft sheet, I often wipe up the remaining ink with scraps of watercolour paper, so I have a pretty big stash of these colourful papers. I like having them ready to use on a project. After taking out a pile of papers from my scrap folder, I die cut them into small squares. Each square was stamped with a different background stamp using a slightly darker shade of Distress Ink, for a tone-on-tone effect. I stitched with a zigzag stitch in between all the blocks.

Maya Road canvas butterflies were stamped with a script background stamp and flutter over the card. I used the Simon Says Stamp exclusive Mini Hearts Set to die cut the tiny hearts, love this die since I am fond of adding tiny hearts as details on my projects. The sentiment was stamped with Simon Says Stamp Music 2 My Ears set. TFL!

I know it's more normal to make the dolls first - then the background, but today I just had to play and get my fingers messy with gesso, paint, Glimmer Mist, gold leaf, crackle paint... see? *lol*

background with peeled paint

We saw this huge industrial smoke getting in the way of our sunset view, then a small branch getting in the way of my view. So I clicked on it first and sat down to get it out of the way. What i got next were foregrounds of sugarcane. Then it was time to go.

How do I get this onto my iPhone?

There are a number of ways to do this, however I think the easiest and fastest way is to download Flickr’s free app. Within the Flickr app you surf over to my photo feed to view the images (if you make me a contact then I’ll appear in the flickr contact list). When you find one you like, just click the download button and save the image directly to your phone. Quick & Simple!

I don’t have an iPhone. Can I still use it on my phone?

As of this writing this image (960 x 640) should be large enough to be used as wallpaper with the Droid / Android, BlackBerry, Windows 7, and iPhone.

How did you make it?

This background was made using graphic design software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Filter Forge, Genetica, Wacom, Alien Skin, Topaz Labs, as well as several other programs.
