Anyway, this past week two of my favourite people contacted me to share what they'd done with those backgrounds. If you missed the posts of those backgrounds they are here:

First up, my friend Gayle Bodine took prints of the backgrounds and cut them up to use in her own art journaling. What she discovered with the little squares she'd cut from the larger prints is incredible! Take a look at her blog here to see the fantastic examples she has shared:

Secondly, my artsy friend Kay Strum took those same backgrounds and printed them off to use in her handmade greeting cards and ATCs. You are in for a real treat when you take a look at the next few images. Wouldn't you just LOVE to receive a one-of-a-kind card like these? Kay has a real gift for cardmaking!

Well, if these don't inspire you, I don't know what will! Be sure to download those backgrounds yourself if you think you could put them to use in your own art. And, as always, let me know what you create so I can feature your work here too!
All the best always, my friends.
