Modern Grunge with Video Tutorial

Hello!

Is modern grunge a thing?  Well... it might be now.   The theme this month at Technique Junkies is vintage.  If you follow me... you know that is a tough theme for me.   Sometimes that is the best... it challenges you to think outside the box.   I love this card.  Check out the video to see how I made it.

Under the Sea

 Hello, 

I'm in love with these shimming bliss sprays that I picked up at Akron convention.  The photos don't do these justice.  They a silver sparkle to them.  I tried to take a photo at an angle to capture the sparkle.  It shows it a little better.   I used a white gel pen to add some bubbles and make a frame around the center panel.

Can you see the sparkle?

While I had the stamps out I thought I'd look through my stash of backgrounds.  I found this shaving cream background that I had left over.  I thought it looked like water.  I love the way the Sea Floor background looked stamped on it.  To help focus the attention on the sentiment I used a Hero Arts fish tank die on top.  I added dimensional foam to parts of the frame to give this card a 3D look.  

I'd love to know what background do you like better?
