Fun Technique

Which I called…. “Vibrant & Textured Backgrounds” for lack of a better name.

And the neat thing, it really is easy to do! All you do is texture either white or vanilla CS with a texture folder that has some bolder areas (tight patterns don’t work). Then use several colors and burnish them into the background with sponges in a circular motion. The last color, will be your contrast color, like Early Espresso and that will be applied more careful, so it mostly sits on the higher texture.

We really had fun last month with this technique…Here is card #1:
