Backgrounds with Recycled Paper Towels by Dianne Jonhson - DT Magenta I love to play with Nuance, and when I do, I make lots of background cards at once. Recently I was making some backgrounds for Christmas cards, and I was cleaning up after each one with a paper towel.   You will need: White cardstock  Glue Stick Brayer Paper Towel And Magenta's Nuance Powder:  Click here for the product    1- Since it had lots of lovely Nuance colors on it, this paper towel was just too pretty to throw away.    3- You will then have 2 lovely pieces of paper towel to work with. 2- Paper towels usually have 2 plys. When your paper towel is dry, separate the plys by pulling them apart carefully. 4- Apply glue stick adhesive to a piece of cardstock. 5- Carefully place one of your paper towel pieces onto the prepared cardstock, and smooth it down. 7- Repeat Steps 4-6 with your second piece of paper towel. You now have 2 beautiful pieces of cardstock to use as you wish on a card. 6- Use a brayer to flatten the paper towel to the cardstock. This will smooth it further, and make sure that it adheres to the adhesive.    Voilà! Happy creation! Dianne Jonhson - DT Magenta
