Guest Julianna Hudgins, the owner of Jewelcraft, shares tips on working with specialty paints for your scrapbooking pages. - Make sure that your work surface is clean and covered with paper.
- Radiant Pearls dry by absorption -- not evaporation.
- Use a heavier cardstock such as 801b Hammermill Via for quick and easy use and dry time.
- Choose three colors to work with and apply, using a toothpick, to an old unwanted CD disc. Place each color in a separate area on the disc, in the amount of the size of a half a dollar coin.
Note: Don't use a CD that you my need in the future, make sure to use an old one not in use. - Using a stipple brush size 2 or 4, apply paints to paper (figure A) using an up and down motion.
- Apply darkest color first, then the medium and then light.
- You can actually see the colors chasing each other around the paper as they mix into one another.
Option: Use a tile comb (figure B) while paints are wet to create a unique textured look. - Finished papers take between 15 minutes and overnight to dry depending on how much paint you apply.
Other Techniques - Apply Radiant Pearl paints to stamps using stipple brushes and stamp image onto paper.
- Detail paint with Radiant Pearls by using a detail brush to paint in image of stamp or other hand drawn images.
