I stamped with white craft ink on white cardstockm and clear embossed before spraying on the Shimmering Bliss. The left one combines Chestnut Mare with Golden Olivine ... on the right is Imperial Yellow and Lapis Lazuli.
The Blue/Yellow color combination was perfect for the current Fusion Tropical Fish Card Challenge.
I paired the background with the fun underwater sentiment Octopus Face. I pulled in the orange from the photo and scattered some sequins to bring in the *bubbles*. I used a loose variation of the Sketch for some Fusion fun.
For my next card I cut my White Diamonds Background into a circle inspired by the Inskpirational Challenge. The colors and textures reminded me of the stone trivets in the picture.
I stamped a sentiment from Technique Junkies Better with Coffee in Stazon Spiced Chai Ink and cut with an oval.
The horizontal piece is from a recycled magazine page (it reminded me of the table top) and a scattered some sequins to bring in the feel of the stones.
I hope I've given you some ideas for using this fun background stamp ... it is so versatile with lots of possibilities.
