Monochrome Madness, Part 2

 Hello Crafty Friends, 

 For my last monochrome card, I have the blues!

I trotted out a tried and true background technique that made for an afternoon of fun in the sun with #1 son helping out as my iPhone videographer.  (Thanks, son...we'll miss you when you're away at school in the fall.)




The background technique (called marbling) is SO easy--and you can make boatloads of backgrounds in moments.  Here's a small sampling of the 20 or so backgrounds I made in about 30 minutes:

You can read all about how I made this card on Hero Arts' blog.  I've also made a super quick video about how to make these marbled backgrounds that you can watch on You Tube.  

I hope you'll give marbling a try and let me know how it goes!  And if you stick with a monochrome palette, why not join us on A Blog Named Hero--(those prizes can really help you increase your treasure trove of Hero Arts supplies!)

Thanks for dropping by,

Essie

    1. Hi Liz! It's sooo simple! Check out the 90 second video I made (link to my YT channel is above)--it's even easier than it looks and I KNOW you'll make some beautiful things with the technique!
