Here are some of the pieces we created using those styrofoam plates created using the Cuttlebug. Once the styrofoam plate was run through the Cuttlebug we applied acrylic paint to the plate using a palette knife. We then printed the plate on acrylic paper which I sometimes sprayed a little water on creating areas where the paint bled. Then another color was added to the plate using a palette knife and this was printed on top of the previously applied layer. Once we got the background looking the way we liked it. A wash of fluid acrylic paint and water was applied over the top or not. These were REALLY fun to do and will make great backgrounds for other art work. I usually scan these images and then print out on cardstock so that they can be reused.
