On my card today I used the NK Studio Marks set to create the background.


NK Studio Marks
1.  I started off coloring a white panel with orange and pink Gelatos.
2.  The stencil that comes with the set was laid on top of the colored panel and sponged with gesso.
3.  Once dry several stamps from the Marks set were stamped with London Fog Memento ink.
4.    Stamp Sentiment from the Happy Greetings Perfectly Clear Set on tissue paper with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, cut out and glue to the center of the colored panel using Fast Finish Decoupage using a flat brush to brush it on.  The tissue paper almost become invisible.
                                       Happy Greetings Perfectly Clear Stamps SetFast Finish DECOUPAGE GLUE
5.  Stamp Friend from the same set on a window diecut with Pearlescent Orange Brilliance ink and shade letters with a dark orange pencil.  Apply pink Dot Sparklers and tie the left edge with orange and pink ribbons.  Mount diagonally to card popping up with foam tape.
6.  Glue a white flower that has been sprayed with orange spray to the bottom of the card using 3 in 1 Glue.

    This 'Marks' Set is one of my favorites of hers (that I still wish to own, ha!). Your background with it so beautiful. ANd I also love how you combined it with the sentiment. Thanks for sharing.

    The Marks Set will be a good way to get a complicated background without hauling out my Gelli Plate. Greetings from balmy Florida!
