making some backgrounds

I have been watching Julia Watts on hochanda and she really gave me some inspiration to go and make some backgrounds....




the first on is a simple caught in crystal using pixie powders and the second one I used glitterkiss frosty sparkle on the acetate first...before doing the caught in crystal....now I am definitely not a messy crafter but this was a technique I found very satisfying
the die cuts are Sharyn Sowell....
thank you for popping by my blog.....please leave a comment so I can come and visit you....
