Hundreds of Art Mini's from Book of Background Pages

If you've done my Book of Background series, you likely have a ton of background pages and maybe you haven't done anything with them yet?

In this video tutorial, I'm going to assume you haven't done the Book of Backgrounds, so I'll show you how to create very simple backgrounds to create instant art to add to other pieces of art such as inchies, twinchies, ATC's ( artist trading cards ), 4x4's, mixed media and anythign else needing a background or embellishment.

Ready to make this? Here is what I used:

Substrate: 140lb watercolour or acrylic paper, corrugated cardboard or mixed media paper. Anything that is thick enough to be sturdy, yet easy enough to cut with a paper trimmer or a blade and ruler.

I used 140lb Strathmore Mixed Media Paper

Side Note:

My videos are geared towards beginners and intermediates. I talk throughout the process to make it easy for you to understand. I avoid speeding up the videos and mistakes are not edited out so you can see how to fix it if it happens to you. In doing this, the videos are a little bit longer.
