This one is a 8 x 10 canvas that I covered in paint using a brush after I had glued down some papers. I'm not super happy with it and think I will still change something. I like the white accents though.
Another canvas, this one is 6 x 6. Before covering it with paint I glued down some tissue paper that I had stamped some time ago. I used a paper towel to get the paint on the canvas, and then used a stencil and bubble wrap as well as some stamps for the accents.
This is a 11 x 14 canvas board and by far my favorite. I like the color scheme, the little dots that I sprayed on, also the torn book pages and the running ink on the right side. I used an old credit card to distribute the paint.
I love to create backgrounds, but sometimes I find myself at a loss, when I think I'm always repeating my favorite techniques or color combinations etc. Christy used a color combination of yellow, blue and green in one of her videos, and I want to try that.
Friday - I'm linking to Paint Party Friday and also JRU studio. If you want to see the work of so many wonderfully talented artists, hop on over and enjoy the ride!
And tonight - I'm going to unplug for National Unplug Day. I'll be either back tomorrow evening or Sunday. Enjoy the weekend, everybody!

I love your backgrounds, Carola, great job!
love your backgrounds.Like the drip marks. Nicely done. Thanks.
love all the fun layers and colors! looks like a great class! :)
i really like all three; the first i;m in love with is because of the orange and turquoisey green/blue, and i too, like the white circles! love the texture you've got going on in the third... and i am taking that class too... but im way behind. someday soon... maybe! they're beautiful! keep on going...
Great colors and vibrant presentations. I like the orange and geometric look of the first one. Maybe you can add a little and see if you like it better -- or maybe it will recede behind some beautiful work yet to be imagined.
Oh, wow. These are amazing - and I hope later that you will show us how you use them (and/or amend them).
Fantastic backgrounds and colours
Carola, your color combos are fantastic.

I love the backgrounds, beautiful work! Very inspiring.
Carola, at first quick look I thought the backgrounds were produced digitally - as that was what I expected - but after reading your words, I see I was totally mistaken! Great work here. I like most the middle one.
Ooh I love these backgrounds especially the purple one!! Great texture and rich colors!!

These are gorgeous, Carola!!
I'm immensely impressed, Carola. These backgrounds totally stand alone...without anything added!
These backgrounds are awesome. I need to get to that soon, I am still practice sketching. Blessings, Janet PPF
