I attended a retreat this past weekend and this was a technique shared by laderme. It was very fun to do, but I am afraid I do not know the name of it. We used a transparency, folded it in half, patted a spectrum pad onto the transparency, folded it in half and "smooshed" the ink around. We then laid a piece of glossy CS onto the transparency and transferred the ink onto the CS. It gives a very interesting background. What do you think?
