Background Bonanza

Fun week of crafting as I am trying to eke out time to play along with the MFT challenges. Day 3 is all about backgrounds. The video shows several ways to make a rainbow background. I just chose a couple of colors: salty ocean, shaded lilacs and seedless preserves distress inks.

I used the MFT One Way Chevron stencil to create the background with the distress inks. I used the MFT All About You stamp set and the MFT You Trio dies to make the sentiment. I white heat embossed the sentiment on a scrap of black card stock and then die cut the "you" from a scrap. To finish off I adhered sequins and stars to the background. I really like this one.
I am entering these challenges:

• MFT Camp Create challenge: day 3 backgrounds 
  
• Addicted to Stamps and More: photo inspiration (i used the colors) 
  
• Seize the Birthday: anything goes
• 4 Crafty Chicks: sequins
• Simon Says Wednesday challenge: add a sentiment

Thanks for stopping by. I am hoping to get another card done today but we'll see how that goes. Hope you are looking forward to some relaxing crafting in your schedule. Have a great day!
