Hi crafty friends! Today I decided to work on some Halloween background for my cards. I think it’s important to see what you’re gonna use as your centerpiece on your card before creating your background. Later on as I put everything together later, I’ll show you the finished cards for Halloween. But for right now I’m only working on backgrounds for my Halloween cards.

The background in the middle I used Tim Holtz distress oxide seedless, preserve, and black soot. I blended the colors together but first I used Seedless preserves and cover 110 white card stock. And then took black soot and blend all around the edges and sides of my card stock. I took tim holtz new distress spritz and splatter the background. Once dry, it gave it a shimmery look.

On the two at the end, I took distress oxide black soot and hickory smoke, which are also tim holtz products and covered a white card stock.

Here are just some of the pieces I’m using for these two cards. This is not all of them so when I was making my background, I was going by the witch and the frame die. I purchased from La-LaLand Crafts and cut it out with 110 white card stock, then color it with Altenew artist markers R206 crimson and R218 vineyard berry. Also took Tim Holtz distress oxide black soot and blended the outside of the frame. 
Here are the two products used. Once I’m done I will post the finished cards. Thank you for checking out my website and I hope you’ll try these background techniques yourself with anything you have in your stash. Have a wonderful day and stay tuned for the finished products.
