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
I gotta see how to make these backgrounds!
ReplyDeleteHi 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!
