Dyed paper Challenge 1

Hello everyone,

I have been MIA for a while due to a painful back/neck condition caused by the way I work on cards and the computer. Add to that a nasty outbreak of shingles and I was forced to stop altogether.

Things are better now and I can begin to create again as long as I pace myself. Getting old is a pain..... literally.

Anyway... I worked up some cards using scraps, and several of my dyed and gel printed backgrounds. I am trying to use up some of the backgrounds I have before I make more. I could make backgrounds all day long. I am also trying to use stamps I have not used much or at all.  For the next few weeks I'll be posting the series of cards I made with material lists.

The first series are cards using primarily the dyed papers.
