I know I haven't blogged for a few days, but I haven't been idle. I have been creating a right mess and having a lot of fun. Every now and them I want to play and experiment. I also felt it was time for my class to get down good and dirty. Boy! Did they have fun. I used photo gloss paper, cheapest I could find, it works fine. I used a mixture of mica powders, placed into puddles of water, mixed and with a paint brush, added both lansdcape wise and portrait wise, put aside to dry. This type of card dries very quickly.Don't be tempted to use a heat gun, for after only seconds the film on the coated card will start to melt. Using the same method , I also used LuminArte powders. Other samples are with the solid mica watercolours from Cosmic Shimmer, and H2O's mica paints. Also I used, Cosmic Shimmer Mists, a few Moonglow Glitz sprays. Most of the results are above, some I have made into cards. Here are a few:-
P.S. More of a different painting mess to follow.
That sounds fun Caz and your backgrounds are gorgeous. There's nothing like a bit of messy crafting is there?
