been awhile!

this is the first time i am posting this year, wow. it's been kinda tough and things arent letting up anytime soon, sadly enough.
anyway, i am here to hopefully inspire anyone who still visits my ol' blog.
i'm gonna share some backgrounds i made and hope if you use them, you show me what you did AND i also hope to encourage you to try some of these techniques as well.
first up is a painted background, just squeeze the paint out in streams and have fun:
Photobucket
second is just glitter glue dropped on page and then sponged around:

or just sponge different paints on your paper or cardstock:

or last you can play with shaving cream and inks or dyes to create marbling or tye dyeing effects.
here is my inked:

here is my food dyes:

 here's a link to a video to show
shaving cream food dye technique
the point is to just have fun and you can create awesome backgrounds too :)

Hi Shirley -

Well you inspired ME! I'm glad you are still being creative.

I especially like the sponged background, its very evocative!

Praying you have a better week, month, year!

I'd love to "chat" any time - just say the word!
