How to Add Layers to a Background

This week’s tutorial began with a piece of cardstock I used to pick up leftover ink from my glass mat after another project. The colorful splatters created a beautiful background, but it needed a little something more. Stenciling metallic paint over the ink added the perfect amount of shimmer, texture, and visual interest.

In the image above you can see the detail added with the stencil and metallic paint.

A close up of the ribbon shows how it coordinates with the colors on the tag.
