This background paper is extremely easy to make…once you start on these, your only problem will be to know when enough is enough!
1. Paint your paper with a solid strong colored base. Let it dry
2. Sponge on three accent colors, moving from dark to light. Let each dry before applying the next.
3. Sponge on a slightly lighter version of the base, mixed as a glaze. This is what pulls it all together.
I used this technique to paint my shoes. The mottled surface is so much more interesting than a solid flat color would be!
