Cling wrap background

As work has interfered with my crafting once again it's back to old cards.  

I love the background in this card and it is so easy to do.  All you do is grab a bit of cling wrap/glad wrap, scrunch it up and use it as your stamp.  So simple, but very effective.  It gives it a very marbled effect.  The butterfly is from Butterfly Prints.


This technique is great when you need something in the background but don't have anything that suits.  I made a teenage boy's card using Cajun craze  (a browny red colour) and glad wrapped it in Night of Navy.  Sounds disgusting, but it looked really "grungy" and suited the card really well.  Stupid me forgot to take a photo of it, but it was really effective.
