How to Make a Pillow Top Background
Today I will show you how to make a pillow top background. Sponging is one of my favourite things to do, and if you like to sponge too, this is the right technique for you.
Supplies: Acetate sheet, cardstock, sponge, ink
Begin by aligning your acetate sheet corner-to-corner on your cardstock. Apply ink to your sponge and wisp ink alongside the acetate sheet.
Continue working in this manner towards the bottom of your cardstock.
Line up your acetate sheet with the corners of the cardstock as seen in the photo.
Continue applying ink as in previous steps.
Your pillow top is now ready to be used for your card or project

Lovely card and what a fun method. So much to see, so much to do and soooo much to learn. Thank you.
This is a beautiful technique, thanks for sharing it Beth.
Very cool technique Beth! I enjoy sponging and I love how your background turned out. Thanks for sharing this with us!!!
What a gorgeous card here again beth. I love the color and the stamp is absolutely gorgeous, just my kind of image, sooo beautiful. And I really like this technique, it gives such a nice and soft look to the card, especially when you choose such a nice and warm color for it. Gorgeous work again hun and nice tut too.
Have a wonderful day sweet friend and lots of fun.
Thank you for the great tutorial! It really makes such a pretty background and I love adding ink and chalk with sponges so this should be a lot of fun! I hope my card turns out as pretty as yours!
Thanks for sharing how you did this. I’ve seen this technique done with chalk but never with ink. Can’t wait to try it. By the way your card is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it.
