Textured Background with Punches (or dies)

Hello Everyone,

Another background idea today… this one you can can use with punches or dies that will fit together.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial

The raised edges catch the ink as the blending brush runs over the card.

I coloured the iridescent ribbon with Stampin’ Blend marker.

This card was made with the Nested Essentials dies and Melon Mambo ink.

I hope you enjoyed this project.
