Here's how I did the Camouflage Background
(a modified version of the �retro technique�)
Supplies:
- Glossy Cardstock
- 3 coordinating colors
- post-it notes
- rubber brayer
(note: you can also try this with 4 colors�just repeat the 2nd step.)
1. Take about 4 or 5 post-it notes and cut them into various curvy shapes. Place them randomly on top of your cardstock as desired. Start with your darkest coordinating color� brayer over the top of the post-its.
2. Next�move the post-its to another position�then brayer with the next to the darkest color.
3. Last...remove the post-its and brayer with the lightest color.
Clear as mud? LOL
Really...it's pretty simple once you try it. If you've done the retro-technique, it's basically the same thing, only instead of leaving the post-its square, I cut them into odd curvy shapes.
