Grungy Paper For Scrapbooking

Easy way to make your own grungy background paper for cards or scrapbooks.

Approximate Time: 15 minutes

Supplies:

• white cardstock
• tacky glue
• ink pad
• makeup sponge
• optional stamps

Instructions:

1. Take a piece of white cardstock and dot tacky glue over the entire piece.
2. Take your finger and spread it out a little. You aren't covering entire paper, just parts of it. The glue should be tacky.
3. Let dry for about 5 minutes.
4. Then dab your makeup sponge into the ink and swirl over whole paper. If the sponge doesn't take it off of the glue enough, then use a paper towel to wipe ink. You can use multiple colors if you like, go from light to dark.

 
5. Then you can use a stamp if you like to stamp something on top. When I used distress ink from Ranger, it dried on top of the glue, but just regular ink did wipe off the glue parts. This is from a stamp, so the word dream came partly off, but I kinda like it.
