Today, there is a VSN Mini challenge at SCS. I only finished one card, but loved the technique....
The background is Toilet paper- yes, really! You layer it and put it through an embossing folder. It is so pretty and smooth looking IRL. I added color by sponging it on- SU yellow (Summer Sun) and Blue (Baja Breeze). The image is Unity Stamps.
This nativity die was cut out of Watercolor paper and watercolored using Zig waterbrushes. I added WInk of STella over the top. The background embissed card is shimmer cardstock. The sentiment is Concord and 9th. I added a Navy backing to the nativity scene to help it pop a touch.

Such a fabulous job with the toilet paper technique. Love the embossing folder and how pretty you inked the background for that cute stamp.
Gorgeous! I didn't even make it to VSN, but now I'm going to have to check it out for sure.
Well the TP tech is a new one to me! It looks amazing and I love both of your wonderful makes here Shelly!
Beautiful cards Shelly - I love the toilet paper technique, but had never thought to use of for a full background! I'm a bit slow at times :). The nativity is wonderful against the embossed background card.
Stay safe
