Single Stampin’ Blend Color For Background 

This technique with the Stampin’ Blends and alcohol can be done with a single color. above are the result of Marvelous Magenta and Bermuda Bay. 

The single colors are also beautiful and vibrant. The Bermuda Bay background would be amazing for a winter scene or ocean scenery.

The final touch with the Gilded Leafing 

To finish the background adding a little of the Gilded Leafing will give that spectacular background. Only a small amount of the Gilded Leafing is added to these backgrounds but wow what an amazing touch. 

Add a small line of the Find-Tip glue or a glue pen to the front of the colored vellum and then apply the Gilded Leafing. The tutorial is all show in the video.
