Dry Embossed / Painted Backgrounds
Hi readers! Happy Sunday to you! I’m so pleased to bring you this gorgeous tag & card made by Mona Pendleton using lots of goodies from Ranger, Tim Holtz, and even some Simon Says Stamp exclusives! If you’re loving this background as much as me, you’ll want to be sure to read on to get some extra tips & tricks on how to perfect this technique!
See new inspiration from Mona every week on our Monday Challenge Blog!
Enjoy!
Steps to create beautiful dry embossed / painted backgrounds:
Step 1: Emboss tags.
Step 2: Apply blank canvas acrylic paint to embossed tags.
Step 3: Randomly apply broken china distress paint using palette knife and dry paint brush. Repeat step using the following distress paints: bundled sage, chipped sapphire, gold acrylic paint.
Step 4: Once dry, use backgrounds to create various projects.
Tip: If you would like to lighten the background randomly apply picket fence distress paint.
