Background


Yesterday I played around again making my own background. I used the first and second tutorial from the brayer video that Nat shows on her blog.

I have used 2 acrylic paints on the background. Turquoise and cappuccino and then I did the rubber band part with Rangers crackle paint fired brick.

Here is the result


I've already used it for a layout but you'll have to come back tomorrow to see the layout.
