Another grunge background

A few days ago (January 24), I showed how to take an ugly scrapbook paper and turn it into an altered grunge piece. I did another, using a piece of white scrapbook paper that I accidentally got paint on.
Supplies are simple:
12 X 12 sheet of scrapbook paper, or any substrate of your choosing
Various paints and glazes of your choice
Gift, old credit, or hotel key cards (be sure they are plastic because the paper ones don't work well)
Begin by spreading two complimentary colors of acrylic paint on the page using a credit card. Note that I used inexpensive acrylic. You don't need the good stuff here, because much of it will be covered anyway. I chose red and yellow because I love that combination.

To that, I added lime green, covering some of both the red and the yellow. This helped to create even more color.

Next, I dipped another credit card in dark green glaze and using only the edge, swiped lines into the center. I then filled in the remaining empty spots on the page using the same glaze.

I repeated the above step using dark blue glaze.

Then I swiped orange glaze in select areas using a clean credit card.

Here is the completed piece. If someone had told me that red, yellow, and lime green paint, and green, blue, and orange glazes went well together from a color standpoint, I would have shaken my head in disbelief. But, since I tried them all together, I really like the results. Hope this inspires you to create your own grunge background.
