Thank you very much for your lovely comments, ladies. I made the background in the "Caught in Crystla"-technique which I love. I used a piece of acetate, dropped clear lacquer in circles on it, then ink drops (only two or three different colours) between the fresh lacquer. If you like take some perfect pearls as well. After that I put a scrumpled tissue paper over all and pressed it deep on the acetate with some kitchen roll papers. If you have white spots use a drop again to fill it. Let it dry for hours. (I finished it two or three days later). A light background is great so the colours pop out best. Usually I´m not a messie crafter but I love the results. Believe it or not I prefered the shiny side but when I ask friends which side they prefer everybody says the textured one. In the challenge last august I used the shiny and now the textured side.
