The background was made by smearing Oxide inks on my kraft mat, spritzing and then laying a piece of tissue paper in the ink. Let that dry, then crinkled it up into a ball, opened it back up and adhered to a piece of white cardstock. Lightly rubbed some Versamark over the raised creases and then embossed with gold ep. Here is a You Tube video by Loll Thompson on this Tissue Paper Watercolor technique. Stamped the hello from Concord & 9th with versamark on some purple cardstock and embossed with gold ep, then added some clear Wink of Stella. Layered onto a piece of mirrored gold and a purple card base.

Wow, what a cool background! I'm going to have to try that, thanks for sharing how! And that gold - it really makes your card absolutely STUNNING!
Wonderful background, Sue. I love that technique and have done it without the gold. Adding the gold border and sentiment really makes this an elegant card.
Wow Sue, your background is so beautiful. Love the gold embossing on it.
