Here is the card I made with the background : http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=2974#top_display_media

This gave me a lot of trouble, I stamped the image with stazon 4 times with my misti and I just couldn't get a good solid stamp for the black base of the image, I decided to give up and color it with my black marker, that looked terrible so I added some heavy acrylic black paint on top, which ended up giving it a matte look but I gave up after that.

WINNER Ink-16 2nd chance Warm-Up

Connie, your card is wonderful.  Sorry you had troubles inking it.  Do you think the issue is the Stazon ink or the paper?  Did you use a brand new stamp-had you cleaned it or seasoned it?

I unexpectantly found I had a dried out Stazon inkpad and had to buy a new one while working on your challenge. I thought I had a refill but I had 2 jet black archival refills instead..guess I purchased a 2nd time by mistake. 

Thanks for playing!...Jan

Regarding Connie and the trouble stamping, I was wondering if it was the glimmer stuff that was hard to stamp over.  While I was looking at my background thinking about what I was going to do with it, I was wondering if ink would stick to the really glittery parts.

I am wondering if it might have been all that shimmer mist that it was hard to stick too, but also that was a new stamp so that may have been the problem too, I cut the sentiment out of the same paper and will probably use any pieces left to die cut instead of stamping on

Heidi, I gave that some thought too and that is why I asked.  My Stazon pad is doing fine on my backgrounds and in general I would think the background is a nonporous surface.

oops, my message and Connie's crossed in transit. 

I have been emboss my backgrounds and they are turning our great after swiping an inkpad over the embossed surface.  I will probably add additional layers to the surface which could be on any paper.  I will try to post a picture tonight.

Stamped, embossed and colored image (new to me)
 Put on paper I made in warm up.  I tried to stamp words on paper did not work. Covered them up with paper and stamped again.  Tried to not cover up paper background!  Did two cards same way.

Connie, April and Sheila I am so happy to see so such terrific results with the backgrounds  :smitten:

I posted a couple backgrounds in the gallery that I started to work on. I added dry embossing with inked highlights.
