Painting on background paper

I joined one of those "Not Your Ordinary Book Club" deals through the local scrapbook store. Last month's kit included painting backgrounds. We used Delta acrylic paints - it was a neat concept as we painted bubble wrap and laid out cardstock on top to transfer the design. We also printed out title on white cardstock with a thick light gray font and painted over the title with the paint for a "foam stamp look." Doing this you are not limited to one style of font. One of our background pieces was white cardstock, wet and crumpled, we then straightened it our and sort of white washed it with paint. They told us we could iron the paper to dry it faster, but I just let mine air dry. I wish my camera was not it the shop so I could send you a pic of the page I did. Hopefully it will be back in a few days - or I will borrow my sisters. Sandy in Southern Indiana
