Dotted Background Video

Hello there,

I have a video tutorial that I have just finished uploading to You Tube. The video is on how I create a dotted background to add texture to my images. I am using dye based inks and rubber stamps to do this. Below the video are samples of the card I created with the image from the video.



You will notice that I did go ahead and added some more sponging around the image as I was explaining in the video.


The image is by Saturated Canary.

I have colored my image with Copic markers in purple and gray tones.

I have used My Minds Eye So Sophia Collection.

I have used the technique I show in my video above the photos to create the texture around the image.

I do hope you will give this a try it is a fun and easy way to add a little something to your card.
Thanks for stopping by to have a look today.

I also entering my card into the following challenges.

Loved the video! Excellent pointers to remember as well. Less is more is an excellent one and had to laugh at "Do as I say, not as I do" LOL...
Your card is wonderful and the extra added work you put into your backgrounds really make a big difference. :)

Thank you so much for sharing in our Linky Party at Make It Monday!
