This is the tenth background in Trish's Background Noise Challenges. Check on the link to her blog for complete instruction.
I made two sheets, one with black acrylic paint and another one with dark blue acrylic paint.
I didn't have any pearlescent colors of acrylic paint, so I mixed turquoise with metallic pearl white and sponged that on both sheets, after wrinkling then straightening them out. Then a sponged on metallic gold acrylic to the black sheet and metallic silver acrylic on the blue sheet.

Your backgrounds are beautiful! I love the deco pages you did with your backgrounds! Fantastically done!
I always enjoy looking at your blog- fabulous work as usual! Oh I just must have a Cuttlebug and Bind-it-all...
If only I could make my DH realize that these things are so NEEDED! :)
Thanks for sharing!
Hope
I don't know how you do it!!!! I just read the new background noise and you've already done it and created something with it!!! Of course, it doesn't help that I'm on daily digest for all the group mail!...That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
