The Glittered Poppleberry

  Good Morning crafty friends!! So today we aren't making a completed card, I wanted to share a couple of backgrounds I made with you all. So to start I created both these backgrounds in the same way, just with different colours.

I applied seedless preserves oxide ink using a sponge. I moved the stencil about as I didn't want straight tidy lines. Heat dried again. Grab some patterned paper that matches the colour scheme.
