Handmade Background Paper

Handmade Background Paper

These handmade background paper were created in an evening.

They are very easy to make and can add so much to your homemade cards.

Instead of buying those designer paper, try this. These could save you some money for other card making's tools.

Notes: I did these handmade background papers in a sketch book I bought from the art shop. But you can do yours on any thicker than 100 gsm plain white paper.

Pink And Orange Dragonflies Background Paper

Supplies Needed:

1. Plain paper

2. Dragonfly rubber stamp (Stamp Credit: Magenta Rubber Stamp)

3. ZIG Dotta Riffic markers (Baby Pink & Apricot)

4. Brilliance Inkpads ( Pearlescent Orchid & Pearlescent Orange)

Instructions:

1. Ink dragonfly stamp with the Pearlescent Orchid inkpad and stamp randomly all over the plain paper. Leave spaces enough to stamp the orange colored dragonflies.

2. Ink dragonfly stamp with the Pearlescent Orange inkpad and stamp in the remaining empty spaces.

3. Use the ZIG Dotta Riffic markers to draw dots.

Tips: I love to use the ZIG dotta Riffic markers and I used them often. Many times, I used them to cover up mistakes. Like when I stamped the dragonflies for this background paper, I spaced the dragonflies too far apart and the whole background looks kind of empty and incomplete. So Dotta Riffic markers came to the rescue. ;~D
