Supplies:
- 12 x 12
chipboard or very sturdy piece of cardstock
- Any BlueFern Studios panel (I used the Mini Rings panel)
- Glue
- Gesso
- Gel
medium (glossy or matte, as you wish)
- Sponge
- Mister to
spray water
- Three
different colors of water-soluble mists (I used the Dyllusions sprays: After
Midnight, Vibrant Turquoise and Crushed Grape)
- Embossing
heat tool
Directions:
1) Glue your
Blue Fern Studios panel to your 12 x 12 chipboard. With the
sponge, apply gesso on top. Try not to leave bare spots. Once it is dry, apply
gel medium all over, again with the sponge. Use your embossing heat tool to
make it dry faster.
2) Spray the
three colors randomly all over.
3) Spray water
on top and watch the colors blend! Add more water and/or more color if needed.
4) Use your
heat tool to dry the colors. Your
background is now ready to use!
5) And here’s
my layout. I also added another chipboard, the Graduated Circles. Since it's a really colorful and busy background, I used only white embellishments:
