Rolling Marble Background Technique Plane & Simple

First, I found marbles that I don't mind getting messy or potentially ruining. I squirted several drops of reinker in the clam shell box and rolled the marbles to get them thoroughly coated.  At this point you could clean the center of the open area to remove some of the ink so that it won't get on your card.

Rolling the Not Quite Navy to disperse the ink onto the marbles:

 Next, place your cardstock of choice into the clam shell, snap the lid shut and roll the marbles over the cardstock. You can go in a direction such as side to side, top to bottom or diagonal or you can swirl the marble into circular waves on top of the cardstock.

It occurred to me that this would make an awesome masculine graduation card while I was working on this....anyway....here is my finished card:
