HANDMADE PAPER BACKGROUND
This is a nice simple background technique that I stumbled upon by accident. Apply a lot of glue stick to a soft handmade paper (in this case the green) and apply it to a similar paper in another colour (white). Run the whole lot through an embossing machine (I used my trusty Cuttlebug) while the glue is still wet and the papers will meld together, and appear as one, rather than two layers. I have just ripped the green paper into strips which works quite well as the torn edges assist the bonding.
