Inspiration - Quick & easy backgrounds by Debi

Hi to you all - Feeling Sketchy followers.

Here I have an easy way for adding texture & colour to your background card stock or paper..without really trying...and you can have a stash of backgrounds ready for use at a later date!

BUT this is for messy backgrounds which I just love!!

I have made myself a 'Spray Booth' from 2 pizza boxes joined together..hey, I love it....keeps the white ties of my laundry clean...I do all my 'wet' work there cos the sink is so handy to wash up the stencils & brushes & hands..

I even store some of my fave stencils/templates in the sides.

When I spray card or paper, I put another 12 x 12 piece underneath...to catch the colour, or excess texture paste/gesso. This is what I call my paper scoop.

Even if I am using a small template the paper scoop under gets a lovely spray too.

But I also get the template that I have sprayed, quickly turn it over & press it down onto my paper scoop....and leave to dry..or you can just get your CS or paper & press over the top.

Here is a LO I completed yesterday that used the same idea...the paper scoop in my spray booth...

Now in the following photo, I have used this purple paper as my paper scoop over a number of days, then added texture paste with 2 stencils...did I say I love texture paste...well I do - big time!
