Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge _Make your own background

Hi Everyone!

I am here to introduce a new challenge at the fantastic Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

This week's challenge is called: Make your own background
The team is showcasing products from: Concord and 9th

And this is my take:






For my second card I used alcohol ink together with a stencil from Altenew to create this beautiful pattern.
