 For the background for my card, I took a toothbrush and blue and red water color paint and I splattered it onto white cardstock.


When I stamp on white cardstock and then cut it out, you can see the white edges. This is especially noticeable when I have the image on a dimensional or a paper spring.





 By coloring around the edges of the image with a black permanent marker I am able to eliminate
the white edge.


 This is a short video showing how I make paper springs.














  Here is photo showing where I glued two of my paper springs to the back of the bear.




 Here is a side view of the paper springs once I put the bear on the card.




The finished card.
