1. In a small disposable bowl, mix a spoonful of acrylic gel medium with enough acrylic paint to give you a rich color.
2. Tear off a piece of plastic kitchen wrap (like Saran Wrap) and scrunch it into a ball.
3. Dip the ball of wrap into the paint mixture.
4. Press the ball onto paper. The creases in your ball of wrap will leave ridges in the paint mixture. Repeat this process until you are happy with the design. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly then trim it down to size.

This project was taken from the book set Creating Keepsakes Collection: Elements a "new" favorite of all of the SG staff.
