SIMPLE CARD BACKGROUND TUTORIAL

Hi there my 3rd Eye Friends! 
Lizzy here with today's tutorial on creating a FAST, EASY background using any ink sprays you have, plus a plastic bag. Any shape or size will do! As long as your hand fits inside:)
 Simply place your hand in the bag, then spray 2 or 3 inks onto the outside. Scrunch it around a little. Then slap it down onto the card stock. Continue doing this around your page until you have an interesting pattern.
Here is the finished effect:
And another colour combination:
I use this idea a lot in my card making. It makes your cards unique as well as VERY fast to create!
Here I've heat embossed the lovely new large number stamps, adding some of the chipboard circles & a flair.
The small parcel stamp has also been heat embossed. My whole card:
And here is the pink/yellow misted background:

I hope you try out this super-easy technique yourself. It's fun, & every time you will get a unique result:)
Happy Scrapping ~ Lizzy ♥♥♥
