Video: Detailed Mixed Media Backgrounds with Bubble Celebration

Hi friends! I'm back today with a fun set of cards and a video all using a single impression of the FABULOUS new Bubble Celebration Bold Prints background stamp. It's a very finely detailed stamp, which gives a beautiful crisp image even with watercolor paper and embossing powder.

You'll see how I created the background in the video with just three colors of Hero Arts Liquid Watercolor: Dandelion, Deep Ocean and Pink. I then stamped the image in Unicorn ink and embossed with White Detail Embossing Powder.

For the first card, I used the Hooray Birthday Cover Plate Die with Pitch Black cardstock for the sentiment.

For the second card, I used the Message Strips Stamp & Cut XL set to cut out the strips, and again used the Hooray Birthday Cover Plate and Pitch Black cardstock for the sentiment on a white card base.

When I cut the strips above with the Message Strips Stamp & Cut XL dies, I kept the negative space because I couldn't waste one little bit of this beautiful background. I mounted that on a Pitch Black panel and then used the Hooray Birthday Cover Plate to cut through the black layer – I was SO excited that the little sentiment dies fit neatly into these openings! Then I mounted that on the white card base and glued the centers of the Os on top of the white.
