Variations

Single Color Background
For a one-color backround, stop after Step 3. You're done!

Dual Color Background
For a two-color background, rub off all the rubber cement prior to Step 4. If you would like to have two colors and some spots still white, leave a portion of the rubber cement in place until your background is complete.

Brush It
Instead of drizzling the rubber cement randomly around your cardstock, try using a brush to create a more deliberate pattern.
