Description:

This will be different,easier but a little more time consuming.

Get a 12" X 12" BASE. An assortment of fall colored papers and glue.(At least 3 different papers)

Tear the fall colored paper into small pieces. At least 1" peices. Randomly glue these on the base untill it is completely covered. Let dry. Try not to overlap too much so it will not be too lumpy.

Then get metallic paint(acrylic) and paint brush and lightly and quickly dry brush the entire page.Google (dry brush method)Just enough to leave the lightest of transparent glaze .Let dry and cut into 16 backgrounds.. Please measure twice: cut once, so the backs are neat smooth and usable. Pattern is in pic at top of page.

Send 4 of these background to each of your 4 partners.

You should mark the backs with your name and email . When using the background, always give background credit to the creator of the background.

Start now and have ready to mail on due date.

@luv2kraft a question:

For the paper layering, can there be print/pattern on the paper or just blank colored paper? Also, is there a limit to the thickness of the layering papers? (Eg, tissue only, or cardstock okay, etc) Lastly, can we mix and match the metallics, or should we try for only one metallic paint color?

Thanks so much! Iā€™m excited to see what folks come up with.

They can be patterned.Whatever fall/autumn means to you.I would prefer you stick to hold.The papers can be any thickness, but remember if you stack tissue next to a heavy card stock you will end up with something lumpy and bumpy and maybe not suitable for creating on.
