I was heavily inspired by a pattern of fabric I'd seen recently when creating these backgrounds, as soon as I saw the fabric, I was like, I could do that with watercolours, and it'd make a great background, so that was it lol :D and the great thing is it's supposed to look messy and loose so if you don't like something, it just blends in and adds to the overall look :D : D :D I finished off the cards by die-cutting with my A2 double stitched rectangle die, and using some of the new Card Making Magic products too :D :D :D
