Two cards - two challenges - homemade backgrounds

This background is made with vintage music paper, Eco Green pink acrylic paint, transperance, Stampotique rubberstamp and then Eco green gold acrylic paint on top. When dry the gold paint is rubbed of and the image show through. 
The umbrella is from a MM patternpaper, the sentiment is also from MM and the flowers is made from vintage lace and a button I had.


The card is made for the challenge over at Lets get shabby - Music and here is a detail of the musicpaper in the bavkground.



My second card today is for another challenge



Here the background is made of white cardstock, vintage bookpages and some pink Eco green acrylic paint.  I've used the same rubberstamp image from Stampotique and also a cat. To protect the page I had some cracle medium on top. It made the image blur a little, but I liked the effect for this challenge, almost a little ghostly. The lace is a gift from my lovely friend Lauren . The sentiment is from various stamp labels.
