GDT for C.R.A.F.T. - Make backing paper

I am so excited to guest design for C.R.A.F.T. Challenge this month, they have some wonderful challenges and this one was no exception - make your own backing paper! 

I decided to die-cut some green paper, ruled lines on it with a clear sparkle pen and going in the other direction I used a silver Smooch. I lightly chalked (in green) where the lines met to hopefully give it a little depth of colour. I then added the rhinestones for a little sparkle, hope you like it. I also made the two top flowers by punching some flowers and layering them.

The sponsors/prizes for this challenge are from LEJ Designs, Stitchy Bear Stamps, Saturated Canary (this girl is from SC) and Scrapper's Delights. Gee that's a lot of great sponsors in one challenge isn't it? Well worth entering their competition and I'd love to see what backing paper you create, I love being inspired! 


FWAB used:
Silver rhinestones and Elise pink flower (the bottom one with bling centre)
