    Watch as Linda Sarine demonstrates her technique for creating artistic background paper.

    Designer Linda Sarine shares her secret for creating artistic background effects: pigment ink.

    Materials:

    Acid-free pigment ink
    Stylus tool with ink pad
    Paper towels
    Permanent ink refill in assorted colors
    Folded acetate report cover sheet
    Cardstock
    Glossy cardstock

    Soft Background Effects and Color

    1. To create a softer background page, use a pigment pad to lightly swirl color over the page (figure A). Blend with paper towel.

    2. Use stylus to layer darker designs (as desired) over the background. Blend lightly with paper towel.

    Tie-dyed Effect

    1. To create a tie-dyed design, try dropping different colors of permanent ink inside a folded acetate report cover (figure B). Close covers and spread ink with fingers, or by tapping the surface with your hand.

    2. Insert two sheets of glossy cardstock back-to-back inside the cover. Spread ink by pressing the outside of the cover. After transferring ink to the cardstock, carefully remove and allow to dry thoroughly.
