How about serigraph. That's an interesting way to make a background.

How about the Tapestry technique? SCS will have a tutorial on it eventually (it's on the list in Resources) but I did find this link: http://www.coxes.com/stamping/sample...b/bground.html

and here's a couple more examples:

Default What about pearl ex and hair spray?

How about doing pearl ex with hair spray and then sprayed on the card stock, to show how to make shimmery background papers. I love how this looks!
