        Yes! How did you get those faint, circular blobs in the background? Was it just part of the background color that you used? It looks so neat. Posted 2 years ago

          I use crinkled up gift wrap, sparkle paper and shine a light on it. The process usually give a nice soft pattern. Posted 2 years ago
