April Card Swap

The theme for the swap was create your own background paper. I made the blue handmade paper for the background about 2 years ago, recycling coloured paper handouts. The method was demonstrated on one of the TV craft programmes about the same time. General idea is to blitz the paper in an old liquidizer, mixed with water, then scoop out on a wire mesh, press between two nappy liners and then dry. The butterfly stamp and flower stamp is from Indigoblu and the background script is from the Marion Emberson range.
