I Will keep checking back here for ?s...
FYI>>>I experimented with this today. I used watercolors on wet, dry and even used and washed out filters...they didnt smell of coffee at all even though I love the smell of coffee the most!
I found that the wet ones were more muted and of course the colors ran together nicely...the dry ones held brighter with the colors and brush strokes showed & stayed on them. dry brushing was possible too. Used filters had more of a vintage look... Texture could be obtained by gluing then scrunching a larger piece over the cardstock blank, then trimming to size when dry like you can do tissuepaper textured backgrounds!

these backgrounds would be great to embroider on...or sew "hippie" patches on or embroidered appliques...i have some peacock ones... somewhere... i should go find! tehehe... but i cant help but imagine peace signs on these! ;-) FUN!

my 16 yr old daughter & I had more fun today painting them over a sheet of copy paper so u r actually doing 2 background papers at once! She discovered a really nice technique ...that gives the paper piece a really nice look! She kinda bunched up the wet filter before painting so there were white streaks that looked like lightning on the paper...really nice effect! Have some fun & try it... ALSO METALLIC PAINTS LOOK AWESOME!
