sprayed background with cogs / Zahnräder-HG

saw this on the blog from indigo blue stamps and had to try the background.
I'm not too happy with how the guys on the cards turned out ... first I stamped the images on a sprayed bg too, but that was too dark (and the second one looked like The Hulk - LOL). Then I used a similar bg as for the card itself. Hm hm ...

postscript:
Okay, I really don't like the guys this way ... I'll correct that in a few hours. So please concentrate on the background until then and just ignore the men :-))

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nevertheless, I'll enter these into the challenge on 'Simon says Stamp and Show' - spritz, spray, or stencil.


I tried several things to rescue the cards but I ran out of patience now.
So I'll leave the first card this way - hopefully improved a bit - and dumped (and deleted it here) the card with the Hulk, he didn't survive ...


Stamps are all by Oxford Impressions.

Thanks for stopping by,
have a great day!

  4. Aaaah Suzanne, i really liked ' the hulk ' he was funny! But i have to admit this one looks better. And the background is great!
    I know you like to try different backgrounds. Have you tried this one; Dip a a-4 in a tub water and spray with one, two or three colors colorwash. (if you use more colors it will become drab). Let it dry on the air. Sooo cool!!
