    Fun process and lovely result. I have been trying to make my own backgrounds for cards and your video has been perfect for me. Thank you for showing the ones you completed and giving a general idea of the paint thickness and card weight. Hints like that make it so much easier to get successful results. I had tried something similar with poor results but l realise now that the acrylic paint was thick, heavy and sticky. I was also applying it to heavily to my block. I am ready to try again!

    Thanks Maggie. That was what gave me the idea. I tried it with Distress Inks last year and it worked really well. I thought it would be an alternative for anyone who hasn't got a Gelli Plate.

    Brilliant idea for making background paper. I can't wait to start plunking down paints 🤔 TFS

    I love doing this kind of background, so relaxing ! Never thought of using Acrylic blocks, I will now and I also will use the sides of them, the paper you've done this way is so 😍😍😍 Thanks a lot for another great opportunity to do beautiful things !
