Did you know you can use painter's tape to make a great card background? At the last Jubilant Butterflies meeting my friend Karla showed us how to make a great background using the following steps.
1. Choose 4 colors in the same color family ranging from light to dark. I chose Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi, Garden Green and Always Artichoke.
2. Starting with the lightest color first, lay a strip of painter's tape ontop of your ink pad a press down into the pad.
3. Pull the tape up and lay it ontop of a neutral color cardstock. I used Whisper White.
4. Repeat with each darker color until the cardstock is covered with ink.
Finish your card using the paint strips as your background. Have fun creating. I can't wait to try some more color combinations. This is the challenge for my downline meeting on Tuesday. I can't wait to see what they do with this idea. We all had the same colors for our background.
What would you put on your background to complete this card?
This looks like a fun technique!! Must try :)
