This card turned out so well I wish you could see it in person. Well, you can if you come over to my house. Call first and make sure I'm home. But anyway it is drops of several different colors of reinker on a paper plate. Then I took a cotton ball and pounced with one color all over a panel of glossy card stock. Let that dry and pounce the next color. They blend together and make a beautiful, shiny background. The stamps are Stampin Up. Be kind to one another.

Gorgeous background, Brenda. I love your technique. And beautiful stamps, too. Oh, I love this card, my friend.
This is fabulous, Brenda! I love the background. I need to try that technique. Your beach scene is precious and makes me want to go back to the beach. Beautifully done!
Beautiful my friend, I will have to give that a t I love the look, I bet IRL it is very shimmery from the glossy paper!! I think the three sea birds are so cute too!! Hope you are staying cool and having a good day!! Heart Hugs, Col

I've never even thought to use reinkers like that Brenda. It really did made a pretty background for this sensational card. I've loved that stamp set ever since I saw it - and wish I'd gotten it. Beautiful card.

This is a gorgeous card Brenda and I've not heard of that technique. Have lots of reinkers and what a great way to use them! TFS, Cathy x
It truly is gorgeous & I'm not sending it back to you--haha! Hope you're well--may try & call you tomorrow. Sending hugs, Greta
Gorgeous card, Brenda, I love the design and the background is beautiful. If I lived closer, I'd pop over to see it in real life....and perhaps have a cup of tea with you. xx
Brenda, this IS fabulous! I wish I did live close enough to come see it in person! Such a pretty beach scene, the colors are so fabulous!
What a fun technique and an absolutely fabulous effect. Such an elegant card with a lovely sentiment x. Sure turned out well on the blog so I am sure in person it couldn't get any better .....LOL x
Beautiful card and I love the way you made the colored layer. It goes so well with the pretty little sandpipers scene.
This is so pretty, Brenda, and the colors you chose are stunning! I would love to come over and see it in person - I promise to call first! I can't wait to try your new technique!! Hugs, Darnell

Love this background, Brenda! /What a fantastic technique! It's so perfect with the seashore scene!
It's a beautiful background, and don't think I've ever tried this pouncing as you described. (I've done it with the felt on a blender tool). It's a lovely marbled effect. Frames this pretty trio of birds so nicely...and I'd love to come see it in person! I'm happy you are able to get out and about and not staying home all the time too! TFS & Hugs
Wow Brenda, this is a fabulous card! I wish I could come over and see it in person....maybe one day, who knows. I love the look you got with the pouncing with the inks. It looks great. Did you do it on the blue mat too? So beautiful! I also love the little scene you created. I don't buy re-inkers and now I wish I had of. lol Hugs, Brenda
The background on your card looks amazing. I think I'll be sitting down and trying out that technique very soon! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
