simon says stamp monday challenge: make your own background

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the  challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too 🙂 

This week our challenge is Make Your Own Background and I have created a fun background on a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Remnant Rubs, Distress Spray Stains in Picked Raspberry, Shaded Lilac and Cracked Pistachio. Once I dried these layers, I added some Opaque Texture Paste and Liquid Platinum embossing powder. For the focal point, I added some stamped images from the Abstract Florals set. 

See full supply list at the bottom of this post 🙂
