Hi there!
I am delighted to join the Time out challenge team as guest designer for this fortnight's challenge!
The challenge is to : Make your own background !
I decided to go back in time and try something again ... a technique I remember from arts & crafts in primary school ... many many years ago.
It is another way to use scraps of card stock. Tear it to tiny pieces and glue it down to a piece of card stock or scrap paper You can then die cut it or use it as you wish to create a bright and happy background. I tried a couple of ways or "patterns" and decided that the more random I placed them, the better! To give my project a smooth finish, I applied a layer or two of Modge Podge with a small sponge.
So here it is :
A die cut sentiment ( Simon says stamp : basic box card happy birthday die ) with a couple of small stars finish off the card in a clean & simple and effective way... and shows off the pretty background!
The challenge is sponsored by STAMPlorations. The prize is a $25.00 gift voucher for the STAMPlorations Digital Store (good for 6 months).
I really hope you'll join the fun and share a creative way to make your own background!
I am sharing my card at :
Seize the birthday : Playing with the topping of : No stamping
Thank for having me Time Out team... and thank YOU for visiting me today!

Gaaf om je als GD bij Time Out te zien! Een prachtige kaart en super achtergrond! Hoop dat alles goed is met hou en je familie? Lieve en creatieve groetjes, Gerrina
Your card is fantastic, Hannelie. I really thought it was done with torn pieces of washi. Now I see that it was torn scraps and Mod Podge! Regardless of how you made it, I love it and I am so happy that you are with us for this fun challenge as Guest Designer! Thank so much for joining us!
Your torn scraps make a great background. I think I would try dry-embossing it, too. That might add some fun texture.
This looks amazing Hannelie - not sure I'd have the patience for that technique...worth the effort though judging by your vibrant creation!
This is really wonderful. It may recall a childhood project, but it is actually quite beautiful and sophisticated. Thanks so very much for being our Guest Designer at Time Out.
What a delightful background! I love all those pops of color! Makes for a festive and cheerful birthday card too!! I love the look of the big white sentiment on it as well. Thank you so much for joining us at the Seize the Birthday challenge!
What a brilliant idea for this bright and cheerful background! This is a fantastic card for our no stamping theme. Thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday.
