How To Create Quick Painted Backgrounds PART ONE

[@kadderkatch-vl3hh]

Love all the random designs…. Lots of possibilities!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Glad you like them 💕

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

Good idea, and I love those fine rectangle lines the blocks leave behind. Great background, thanks Nina!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Mieke. Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@cynthiatalbott-nelson7530]

Nina you are the best at these backgrounds. Thanks for the lessons.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Awww, thanks so much Cynthia! :):) x

[@laineygardner5211]

Great way to break a blank page and end up with a fabulous background!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Lainey. This is so quick and easy. Distress Inks work really well too!

[@cathyhorses]

What a fantastic idea! And you get two backgrounds out of it. This is certainly a good way to chase away my fear of a white page. :)

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you. You can create a lot of colourful pages in a very short space of time. I've been busy making things with these pages and I'll share another video in a day or two!

[@mmonr]

I love this idea. I really like them stripped together as you have them displayed at the end of the video. No end to great ideas with paint and paper. Thanks -Marsha from Texas

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Marsha. I think they look lovely stipped together too :)

[@barbaracabrera207]

Great technique!!! And a paint saver too. Great "painty" papers. THANKS! Austin,TX USA

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Barbara, glad you like them 💕

[@toriswanson5451]

Great way to make those backgrounds. Thanks, Nina!!!!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Tori. Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@elizabethglenbentley7882]

Just revisited this video after 5 years and feel like it's all new again. I'll have to visit the kids' store for a variety of acrylic paints. So much accomplished on a short time. Thanks again Nina.

[@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore]

What a lovely way to use up some of my cheap acrylic paints. I always thought you needed a jelly plate to do this. Another project to do once my craft room is cleaned. TYFS ☺♥

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

It’s such a fun way to make backgrounds. Enjoy 💕

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Nina, those page’s are really really Awesome and Stunning Too.... I really really love ❤️ all of them too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Mags. I must try this technique again. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas 💕 xxxx

[@TeresaMorgan]

I love making up a big batch of background papers - even the ones that turn out a bit muddy have interesting areas that are great for ATCs or die cuts x

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Teresa Morgan I agree, if a background goes wrong, I cut it up and use it for ATC’s. Things can often look more beautiful in smaller pieces ❤️ x

[@donnalee62]

Splodging and plonking . . . these are official art terms! At least, they are now! :) Wonderful Nina!

[@tuthillg]

Easy backgrounds and so lovely! TFS, Nina!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Gail. So much fun!

[@terrioleson6296]

There is beauty in color! Love them.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Terri. Aren't they fun!

[@ChattylaineCreates]

Oh I love the effects it's made especially the grid lines from the back of the blocks... I don't have a brayer or many blocks but I might try it with a sponge roller see how that goes!! Thanks for all your fabulous ideas.... can't wait to see what you do with the finished papers xx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

The grid creates some fabulous texture doesn't it. A sponge will work just as well as a brayer. When I did this last year with Distress Inks, I am pretty sure I only used one acrylic block. I've been playing with these all afternoon, so another video to follow shortly! xx

[@ChattylaineCreates]

Nina Ribena Oh yes I used my Brushos for the first time last week had so much fun..... I love it. I love your videos Nina.... especially when I know I can try and get things in UK.

[@susanjones7872]

Fun and easy! Great idea Nina! Adore the one you used the sides of you stamp blocks on. Tfs! ♡♡

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Susan. I think that's my favourite one too!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Hi Nina, I've started to make these beautiful papers and I've reviewed this so I know I'm going in the right direction..... I will show you when I've finished them. I've see the next. Tutorial and I'm going to make most of them into greetings cards ♥️ so when I've finished I'll send you some more photos. Thank you so much 😊

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Mags Nash Lovely to hear you're diving in with this one Mags. Can't wait to see your photo's ❤️

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

WOWZA that is totally fab!!! I do remember you making these going to "search" for my blocks and do it myself. Thanks for showing this again

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Isn't it fun! You will love doing this! :)

[@helentucker5034]

Thanks Nina, I like the backgrounds you created, especially when you used the side of the block as well. I'm going to experiment with this technique, looks like fun. tfs.😊

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Helen. This is so easy and fun. Happy creating! :)

[@purplenanna1272]

These turned out really effective.Really love the paler ones you did using kids paint!.Now look forward to seeing how you use them 😄X

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Aren't they fun! There's another video to follow soon! :) xx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Fia. This is so much fun to do. Hugs xox

[@victoriaashmore2775]

This is a fun idea, especially for those times when I feel like doing something with paint and paper, but not really up to creating a full journal page.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Victoria. This is so easy and so much fun. I've been busy making things with these pages and I'll share what I've been up to in a day or two!

[@lilac470]

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

[@sharonwatson4085]

This was an excellent tutorial! I often struggle with creating mud and this definitely solved the issue as well as provided a guideline as to how to have a beautiful finished background. Thank you for sharing this technique.

[@pennyslater3440]

Looks simple and easy enough. Love the technique. Thanks.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Penny. This is so much fun to do!

[@andreabourke1433]

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+mynotecards Yes it is. I too have made some cards amongst other things with these ❤️

[@LisaMyEclecticLife]

Love these. I don't have any stamp blocks but I am going to try this with small gelli plates. Thanks for sharing.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

This will work really well with mini Gelli’s too. Enjoy ❤️

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Isn't it fun! I've made some lovely things with these pages which I will share in a day or two :) xox

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

Great pages. I like the way this technique turns out.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

[@lisedanis2201]

Started watching, then went in my studio and worked on some pages that I had already started! Then took a big WCpage that I had started some collage on backgrounds and just love where they are going a bit out of my confort zone but having a blast. Try to post some on FB. Tfs Nina

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Oh how fabulous that you've tried it Lise. I'll have a look on Facebook. This is so much fun isn't it. I've already made some things with my backgrounds which I'll be sharing in a day or two!

[@sherrywright6634]

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you! This technique is so easy and so much fun! I love playing like this :) x

[@thecuriousartistinshi5093]

Absolutely fabulous... every time I make an acrylic painting, I end up with some leftover paints... this is perfect to use those paints , I mostly brushed them on a scrap of paper but this will make an addition to my pattern paper stash...thank you thank you thank you for sharing this... lots of love

[@gimmedatstick]

These are absolutely gorgeous---some of the most beautiful I have seen! You make me want to run right out and buy some more paints.....I will definitely have to try this out! Thank you for sharing.

[@suebouch4074]

I love this idea! I had so much fun creating a couple background pieces just from cleaning off my brush while doing paint samples recently and I've been wanting to play with a brayer... Will look forward to video showing ideas for using the background pieces once they're made. TFS have a great day!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

You will love playing with a brayer, so much fun! Enjoy :)

[@littlesnippets1]

Brilliant technique and definitely a Must try....must try! TFS ger x

Thanks Eve, that’s lovely to hear. Happy Creating 💕

[@zinnia20207]

I have the same Longines watch. Love it.

[@carlottaholman9481]

TFS. I hadn't considered using the stamp blocks as stamps themselves. I must try this.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Its great fun and highly addictive!! Enjoy :)

[@carlottaholman9481]

BTW; I wasn't joking that I must try this. I already did. I didn't use it to create a whole new background, but did use it to add interest and color to one I already had. Again, TFS

[@patriciastubbs7605]

This is a really great technique ! It made such lovely patterns. Thanks for sharing, Nina !

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Patricia. I hope you'l give it a try too!

[@samoneangel1419]

So creative!

[@josiegitto8928]

Dont you love having the house to yourself !! beautiful papers !

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Its bliss Josie! I love having the boys at home, but its impossible to get things done when they are around! Its been a looooong 3 months!!! Hugs xox

[@donna6516]

Lovely! I've done something similar using various size and shape gel plates (and stencils along with them) and made long pieces to use as wrapping paper. The technique is similar but the results are so different, each wonderful. Thank you for sharing!

[@nelhinds]

Great technique! I will definitely try this!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Enjoy! :)

[@dianaholloway9835]

Brilliant idea for making background paper. I can't wait to start plunking down paints 🤔 TFS

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Get plonking! Enjoy! :)

[@dailybread7364]

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Happy Creating 💕

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you and Happy Creating 💕

[@annzarro8331]

thank you Nina for your sharing I am new to all this trying to teach myself by watching you tube and love your work,thanks again..

[@lindagiles1911]

Fun process and lovely result. I have been trying to make my own backgrounds for cards and your video has been perfect for me. Thank you for showing the ones you completed and giving a general idea of the paint thickness and card weight. Hints like that make it so much easier to get successful results. I had tried something similar with poor results but l realise now that the acrylic paint was thick, heavy and sticky. I was also applying it to heavily to my block. I am ready to try again!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Linda Giles Thanks so much for taking the time to comment Linda. Its good to hear this was helpful to you. I have been making some things with these pages that may be of interest and I'll be uploading another video in a day or two.

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

It's always fun making patterns with whatever is to hand. What I've found is that when acrylic blocks get dirty, stamps don't stick to them any more xx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

This is so easy and fun and quite addictive too! When your stamps stop sticking, clean both the stamp and the block with some rubbing alcohol and they will work as new again xx

[@katerinamylona8068]

Wonderful papers!!!! You're so good at it!!! Every time you create gorgeous colourful backgrounds!!! I love your papers!! :) Huge hugs and kisses!!! xxx

Thanks so much dear Katerina. Glad you like these. They're so much fun to make! Huge hugs and kisses to you too dear! xxxx
