Spray starch technique

I had run across a blog where they used spray starch to make a background, but did not disclose how it was done since she used the technique from an issue of the Techniques Junkie newsletter.

Funnily enough right after that,  Deb Lovett who sent the technique to TJ belongs to one of my groups and shared the "how-to" with us. Just click on her name and it will take you to the tutorial.

i experimented with different mediums for this technique. I used walnut sprays, glimmer mists, Posh inks, and memory sprays as well as the pearlex. Some I just sprayed a second time with the spray starch and others I put the scrunched plastic wrap over while still wet. I used glossy cardstock for all of these, but apparently you can use matte cardstock, so I may have another try with that.

More Backgrounds

I just bought some Memory Mists and decided to use them for some backgrounds using some small pieces of glossy white cardstock that I had on hand. I sprayed the cardstock and then smooshed the pieces together.

The bottom one in the second picture was done with Walnut ink, then I dropped alchohol inks on it randomly, then dropped some of the blending fluid on it.

The last picture is a piece of card stock that I had underneath the pieces while spraying.
