As soon as I saw this set at TAWS I knew just what I wanted to do, create my own word background, although there was a little moment of debate where I did consider using a colour instead of the black… but in my mind’s eye it was black, so it stayed that!
You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

Love the bold background and that gorgeous pop of pink butterfly, Therese! Perfect, my friend!
Hi Therese, I love that love card background. Do you use versa fine onyx black when you emboss with black embossing powder? Sometimes I find it messy and was wondering if there was anything else other than the clear.

Hi Doreen, I have never had any luck with black embossing powder and tend to just use black ink (any pigment ink will do, but I usually use Onyx Black) and heat emboss it with clear embossing powder. There is a clear mat (not glossy) embossing powder that is made by WOW, I think this would also be a great option, but I don’t have any… yet. Hope you have a great day and find some crafty time, thanks so much for your comment, Hugs Therese
Fabulous Therese – great video 🙂
Great background stamping. Gorgeous card. What colour would you do if you didn’t do black? I do like the black.
Hi Vicki, I think this background would have also been nice in silver, but you could even do it multi-coloured! Have a great day!
Thanks. Multi coloured would be interesting too 🙂 I have just been given a 5 minute rest from playing boggle! Little Ms 10 and I spent the morning re organising the games cupboard and old is new again 🙂
Thanks Tererese, yes thats what i have been doing but every now and again i mess up, especially when I mask. will keep trying and look for the WOW mat. Thanks again. ox
Gorgeous card, Therese! Thanks for showing us how to line it up 🙂 I love the font on the sentiment, and your pretty pink butterfly is the perfect touch!
You did it again Therese, a STUNNING card, It is perfect with the colors and the touch of glitter.
Love what you are saying about having that fine glitter all over the place for a few days. My son often says “mom you have glitter in your face AGAIN” haha.
Hope you have a lovely day and thanks for the inspiration.
Hugs for you//Gunilla
What an awesome background, Therese … love the delicate shimmer and pop of pink with the bold monochrome … just gorgeous! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Brilliant background idea and one I think I might have to try out. I even have a stamp in mind…..you always leave me with ideas on how to use my stamps differently, I really appreciate that!
Such a pretty card! The way you design and execute you cards is simply amazing! Perfect always 🙂
Wow, I love that black and white bold background with a pop of pink on the butterfly!!
I watched this video a while back with my girl. Couldn’t comment then. I admired your ability to get it so straight… it looked so simple although it is so hard. Thanks for the tips and tricks and the inspiration, I need to try this on my own.
The bold pink butterfly looks amazing against your dark background.
