Technique Class: Backgrounds

Elevate your paper crafting projects by learning how to create dynamic, layered backgrounds that bring depth and visual interest to your work. In this engaging, hands-on class, participants will explore a variety of techniques using inks, paints, and textural materials to build rich surfaces, unique patterns, and versatile design elements.

Through guided demonstrations and open creative exploration, you’ll experiment with layering methods, color blending, and texture-building approaches that can be applied to greeting cards, junk journals, mixed-media art, and a wide range of paper crafts. Participants will leave with a collection of finished background pieces ready to use in future projects, along with practical techniques they can continue to build upon at home.

This class is designed to be welcoming and accessible for all experience levels, offering a relaxed environment that encourages creativity, experimentation, and artistic confidence.
