SCS had a fun technique the other day that involved tearing strips of paper to create a background. I thought it might make a "wavy" background for an underwater scene, so I grabbed a variety of blue patterned papers, tore them in strips and assembled them. (I think the mostly blue strips were more successful than the more boldly patterned ones, now that I've had time to live with it.) I placed the strips behind a blue panel with a round aperture and added a die-cut octopus as a focal point.
