Neat & Tangled April Release - Day 3 & Giveaway

Hi all!  It's Day 3 of the Neat & Tangled April release and today we're showing off my new Receding Background background.  This is one of those that is so handy to have in your arsenal.  You've seen it a lot already this week helping to create focal points on some of the cards from the rest of the team.  For this card, I thought I would make the background the star.

The background was stamped and clear embossed on some watercolor paper.  I then painted it using my Gansai Starry Colors paint set. 

I used all the different golds except the white gold, just randomly coloring the rings.  It's a really pretty panel, but I don't think the photograph above shows it off that well.  You can get a better feel of the shimmer and shine and gold in the detail shot below.

Once the panel was done, I trimmed it down and popped it up over my base and added a simple sentiment strip with a gold embossed sentiment from the Dream Big stamp set.

OK, be sure to head over to the N&T blog to check out what the rest of the team created.  Leave a comment here as well.  I've got a background to give away.  For extra chances, head over to my IG (@mprantner) and follow the directions there.
