If you are anything like me than you love personalized stuff. Whether it's stationary, or a pendant or an embroidered pillow you can't get enough. I love to make cards for people decorating them is a hobby of mine. Another hobby is spray painting things, so I thought I would try combining the two.
First you want to get thick paper. I used plain white card stock.
You will also need some cardboard or a flattened box, to place under it so you won't spray what you have it on.
Then all you need is the color of spray paint you want.
(If you want to add initials you will need to get some painters tape and apply it in the desired pattern before painting.)
Lightly coat the paper then let it dry. Do this as many times as necessary to get it to look like you want it to. You can do ombre or solid. Or even with multiple colors. If you want to do that you'll need to paint it a solid color or start with colored paper, tape your pattern on the paper and spray it.
(Just make sure any paint you are going to put tape over is VERY dry. The whole page could be ruined if it is not completely dry. Also take any tape off as soon as possible after painting.)
