I created my own background for Cardz 4 Guys. This one was created on regular cardstock using a baby wipe that I had used to clean a background stamp. I didn't use the background stamp on this card, just the baby wipe and ink that was cleaned off. I bunched it up and smooshed it on my white cardstock and kept shifting and pressing.
Once dried, brought in a stencil and used some glitter gel to add some additional texture.
And then it was all sentiments from there . . . stamps and a die. I stacked my die, and have one layer of green that is slightly offset.
I struggle with masculine cards, so this was a win!
I hope you find some time to create today.
