How-to | create your own background

Today's tip comes from Wendy...

In this post, Wendy shows you how to create your own background using dress makers pattern paper and mists. Incredibly effective...might just have to try it myself.

Step 1 - crumple the dress makers pattern paper

Step 2 - smear mod podge over your cardstock

Step 3 - adhere the dress pattern in a crumpled style across your cardstock

Step 4 - wait for it to dry (that's the hard part if you're impatient like me)

Step 5 - choose a colour that compliments your layout and spray mist in splotches across the background

Step 6 - smear the mist across the background with kitchen paper

Step 7 - wait for the mist to dry. You can speed up the process by using a heat gun to dry it.

Your background is now ready to create your layout!

Thanks Wendy! Great tips and gorgeous layout! Love the stapled ribbon underneath the photo.
