Hi peeps! How was your Wednesday? I started yesterday super early in the morning with a sharp and quick earthquake. Yes, I live in Marina del Rey, CA. It was a 3.8 magnitude earthquake which is the strongest one I’ve experienced. Then later my hubby suggested that we upgrade our emergency preparedness kit in case of a more serious situation than we expect. There is no doubt it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Right? I hope I never have a chance to use the emergency backpack I keep in my car. Knock on wood!
Okay, now it’s time for sharing my cards with you all! It’s been a month since I created an I love you card last June. Really? I can’t believe that I didn’t make any cards for one month. So today I’ll show you two cards at once that I made yesterday using a different style and technique I haven’t tried for a while. (Actually it was my second try.) It was a very challenging job to work on it, because I made my own backing paper from scratch. I got the whole process from Miyake’s blog, and it’s all about creating your own background paper with alcohol inks.
Do you want to know how I created my own paper? First, I applied a few colors of Adirondack alcohol inks, snow cap mixative, and blending solution with a blending tool onto the sheet of Kraft Glassine paper. Then I dried it with a heat gun so that the paper would have a sandy texture since it’s a kind of wax paper. After that, I crumpled paper to create wrinkles and break the coating in the glassine. Finally, I stamped a couple of images with Stazon Black, which is a fast drying solvent-based ink. I know it’s a little complicated to explain without photo instructions step by step. Maybe you could find some tips from here by Tim Hlotz, or here by Miyake.
At the beginning, I was not sure how the paper would turn out, and I thought I might fail to create my own backing paper. I didn’t like the way my paper turned out, because it reminded me of a bunch of mold in the wall. So I almost gave up making a card with it. I have no idea why I suddenly started to think it would be interesting to make a card with this gross paper. Now I’m kind of into making my own backing paper which is unique and special.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!|

I am a heavy sleeper, so I didn’t feel the earthquake Wednesday morning. However, I found a link which documents the shaker:
