For you this week I have created a special background for my card using Pumpkin Pie, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss.

For my project today I have used a couple of dies, some blending brushes and the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set! So how did I create my card!
 

I started with a piece of Basic White and then using the blending brushes coloured in differing depths Pumpkin Pie, Blackberry Bliss, and Gorgeous Grape.

 I cut my bended background into 1 cm strips and turned each 2nd strip around and adhered them to a slightly smaller piece of Basic White than the size of a card front.
As you can see the lines are  bit pronounced in between each strip so.....
I took out the Pumpkin Pie blending brush and went over the whole card again trying to make sure the lines were less "white"

To finish the card I used the leaf die from the Artistic Die set in Basic White. Guess what? I actually remembered to use the adhesive sheets this tie before die cutting! Wow! How easy it was to adhere the leaf to the front of my card. I then white heat embossed on Basic Black the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set and used the little label die from Gorgeously Made to cut it out! I popped that on with dimensionals. Everything was then adhered with dimensionals onto a Thick Basic White card Base.

I had so much fun creating this back ground and it looks like a gorgeous sun set! I hope you give it a try with some of your favourite colours!

    Oh, wow - what a fabulous and fun technique, for creating the striking background on your card, Sharon. Thanks for the step-by-step explanation. How good are the Adhesive Sheets?! LOL. Beautiful card, showing off the richness of Pumpkin Pie with some unexpected but beautifully complementary colours!

    Stunning card Sharon, I love the effect you got for the background by cutting and reassembling the strips. The white leaf sprig looks amazing on the stripy background.

    Oh wow Sharon I really love your card and how you created it. Pumpkin Pie actually goes very well with Blackberry Bliss and Gorgeous grape to as you said create a background like a sunset. Fab idea to go back over with the Pumpkin Pie to eliminate the white lines.

    Love, love, love this, Sharon. What a brilliant way to create such a fun background, cutting into strips and turning each alternate one around. A brilliant technique and I must put this into my list of things to try. The simple bold white die cut and heat embossed sentiment is all it needs, amazing.
