Our very own artsy backgrounds

You can make your own backgrounds in very many ways. What to use? Whatever that's on your hand or should I say what's on your desk?

Today we've used distress in different variations, stains, refills and pads! Color wash, pearl ex, perfect pearl, rub n buff, hot glue, different medium, stencils. Anything you can (or can't) think of. And of course stamps, lots of stamps. Maybe you'll think of a way of combining them in a different way than we did.
