Do you remember last Weds I post a few things that were on my desk, acetate, alcohol ink, glossy accents, tissue paper and sticky back paper...and this background is the result of using all those things...
If I remember rightly a few years ago I did a similar technique but used floor polish and we called it 'Caught in Crystal' but this technique is so much easier and dries so much quicker...
Having stamped onto acetate turned it over made a few swiggely lines with the Glossy Accent then started putting some alcohol inks on top. Then take a piece of tissue paper larger than your acetate scrunch it up into a ball then open it out again ready to place on top of your inks..I did sprinkle a little find fline glitter on the top before placing my scrunched up tissue paper and pressing it gown on top of the acetate..dab lighty with a piece of kitchen towel...if you are not happy with the results then add more inks...set aside to dry, then put some sticky back paper on the top and your background is ready to use. You get some beautiful backgrounds....
Alcohol inks used on this background are Caramel, Butterscotch and Willow. Stamps used are Clarity Aliums and Martha Stewart border punch around the edge...
Will be back using more of the backgrounds I have created...

What a great effect you have created, I love it. Never done this kind of thing, I am sure I would not get results like that. I love the image you have used it is just so perfect with the background.

Lovely card Anne - sounds like this is quicker than the caught in crystal method but still with the effects. Hope the craft fair went well and you didn't get bogged down in snow!
