Tuesday's Terrific Tips

How did I do that Back ground????
Well it's so easy, even a four year old can do it. Johnny and I had fun with the Brayer and ink pads, when we made the background papers for our last scrappin' entry.As you can see it's all in the wrist action, and the way you smile, as you Brayer away! 
John had it down pat, by the second page. You just keep going over the page with the inked up Brayer till you get the desired effect. It looks a little patchy now, but with patience it comes out as a lovely mottled "water coloured" look. After it dried , I stamped the group of trees from Lovely as a tree, along the green band to create a "Tree line" border. You can see the finished pages in my previous posts. Thanks John for the help!
