Using Up the Backgrounds You Have-Then Remaking It

I had a background sitting on my desk from this card, I made it 2x because I wanted to videotape how I made it.

I diecut some pieces from the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for June 2025. You can see the other card I made, much more whimsical, HERE.

Here is what it looked like:

But then I thought it needed some blue pastes, so I made a whole new background!

Maybe I didn't need to do that. LOL. But I did get to try some of the new Astro Paste, it has a little glitter in it. I apply a thin coat of this using a flat foam blending tool. (I used Slippery When Wet, Weeping Willow, Silver Lining, Shady Lunar Pastes, Beluga Solar Paste and Clear Skies Astro Paste.)

Next, I ran a black Archival ink on my folder and ran the dried paper through my Big Shot. You do need Archival Cleaner or rubbing alcohol to get the ink off the folder, then rinse it with water.

I embossed the panel with the "Plaster" Embossing Folder, one of my favorites.

There is a sailboat in the Deluxe Caboodle but not available for individual purchase, so I used the Set Sail dieset for the boat and waves. It's a good set to have on hand, you can see the entire collection HERE. It's an older collection but always good!
