Ink Refills Rock for Backgrounds

Creating a background is so easy when you use these products...
Glossy Cardstock and Ink Refills...oh, and a baby wipe.
That's it!  It's super simple and takes no time at all to create something beautiful and unique. The ingredients for my card are as follows:




Whisper White Cardstock (for card base) cut 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4"(100730)

Whisper White Cardstock (for greeting)- use scrap that's at least 2 1/2" square.

Early Espresso Cardstock (for mat) cut 2 1/4" square (119686)

Early Espresso Cardstock scrap that's large enough to cut 2 leaves and the branch shown.

You can cut your piece of Glossy White Cardstock 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"(144240) if you're only making one card or you can stamp a piece of 8 1/2" X 11" so you'll have enough for 4 cards or a larger project, if you want.

The colors of Ink Refills I used are Cherry Cobbler(119788), Pumpkin Pie(105229), Daffodil Delight(119672), Old Olive(100531) and Cajun Craze(119790).

The ink pad I used for the greeting is Early Espresso Classic Ink (126974)

I dotted the ink onto a baby wipe and then thumped this onto the glossy cardstock.  Set this aside to dry while you work on your greeting and leaf embellishments.

I fell in love with the Color Theory Suite in the catalog (pgs 146-147) so I used the Seasonal Layers Thinlits (143751) for the leaves and branch.


For the adhesives I used the Fast Fuse (129026) and Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755).
