Clear protector sleeves background technique and tutorial

Many months ago, possibly years ago, I saw this technique on a web site or discussed in a Yahoo group. I can't remember where I saw it, but as I recall, it was in more than one place. I always wanted to try it, but couldn't find any extra clear protector sleeves. Then a few days ago, I ran across mine and now I'm able to try this technique, which I'm happy to share with my readers.
Supplies:
dye reinkers
card stock (CS), or substrate of your choice (2 sheets the size of your sheet protector)
clear protector sleeves (mine are 3 ring sleeves)
scissors
Craft sheet (optional to protect your work surface)
Not shown: Brayer (optional if you have one)
Cut one side and the bottom of your clear protector sleeve.
Place drops of dye reinkers in random spots on one side of the sleeve. For this one, I used four colors.
Close the sleeve and work the ink around
until you are happy with the coverage.
Open the sleeve, and place two sheets of CS or substrate of your choice inside the sleeve. Close the sleeve and press the ink onto the pages. Use your hand or a brayer if you have one to ensure good, even coverage.
Lift one side of the sleeve. If the ink is nearly or completely transferred, remove the pages. You may have to lay them out to dry for a few minutes if some of the ink has pooled. This only happened the first time for me and the ink was dry within a couple of minutes. By the second batch, I was better able to control the amount and placement of the reinkers.
These are my next sets. I only used a few dye ink reinker colors, but you can see how you can alter the design and coverage based on the amount and placement of the ink.

This was a fun, fun technique and it is something you can whip up in a very short amount of time if your reinkers are handy. You also don't need a lot of room for this background technique, since the substrates will be practically dry when you remove them from the sleeve. And it's pretty obvious that no two of these backgrounds will ever be the same, although you will get mirror images with each batch. Enjoy!
