Kate has a new YouTube video

Kate has a new YouTube video showing you how to create a soft and simple dotted background using Copic markers and Distress ink.  This soft and slightly shabby chic background is perfect for cards and is easy to create.  
Kate has used this technique to create a background on her card designed to focus attention on the gorgeous main image, which is Teenie Tiny by Elizabeth Bell, available only from Sweet Pea Stamps as as a rubber stamp.

Kate has used co-ordinating colours across the whole card, main image, background and embellishments to create a slightly shabby spring feel. 

Check out the video below to see how Kate created this soft spotty background.




Have a magical day,
Kate

    Kate, you have done a wonderful video here. I love the background for the fairy. I can't use Copics as I struggle holding them but I shall have to try something similar with Promarkers. I know it won't be the same as they have a brush tip. Thanks for sharing. Kym PS Wonderful nails by the way!!!
