a fun little discovery

I was working on a layout for Lisa's challenge during our little CHA mini-crop at AC Bailey this weekend and found a fun new technique (new to me, maybe not to some of you) quite by mistake. You see, the chipboard I was using got bent while I was taking it off of the sheet it was on, so the ink I used to cover it was darker in some spots, and it looked SO COOL, and was a great effect to go with the papers I was using. So, instead of starting over with a new piece, I bent it some more. And some more. I love that it looks kinda like worn leather. Here it is on a layout I made about Hailey.
