VIDEO: Layered Background Featuring Sticky Mats

Hello friends!! It’s Channin here and today I’m combining several techniques to create an abstract rainbow background with lots of depth! Check out the video below to see how I add layer upon layer with ink blending, stencils, stamping and even pigment ink to create a background with tons of dimension.

Layered Background Featuring Sticky Mats

To create this card I first ink blended over an A2 panel of Sand cardstock with the Abstract Frames Stencil and Unicorn Pigment Ink. I then rotated the stencil and then ink blended a rainbow over the stencil with several Reactive Inks. Then I stamped over the panel with the Abstract Frames Bold Prints stamp with the same inks I used to create the rainbow blend. 

Next I created my sentiment by die-cutting the “congrats” and “!” from the Congrats & Yay Stamp & Cut XL set out of white cardstock. I then die cut the mat layers out of vellum and then adhered them to their cardstock counterparts. I then stamped and white heat embossed a sub-sentiment onto black cardstock and then fussy cut it out. 

To finish the card I adhered the background panel to an A2 top-folding white card base and then adhered the sentiments with foam adhesive. 

I hope you enjoyed my card and video! Thank you so much for stopping by!
