Background papers and how to transform them into printable formats..... Hi Craft addicts! Well, it is Technique Tuesday and so I thought, for a change from cards etc, I would try and show how I created a design on Yupo paper using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons and Creative Expressions Pixie Powders and then transformed them into my own printable papers... How I made them- For the Blue flower design, I first of all added some dark blue (Blueprint Sketch Tim Holtz Distress Crayons) to a 7" x 5" panel of Transparent Yupo paper and blended them one at a time to a flower shape. I then added some paler blue crayons (such as Tumbled Glass) to the spaces and again blended them in - I use my fingers first of all and then a paintbrush with a hint of water to do this... I also added a small amount of green (Mowed Lawn) to various parts of the design. Once I was happy with the design, I then let it dry and took a picture of it using my phone and sent it to my Dropbox account....
