MIM #123
Made another card for Make It Monday ~ Make Your Own Paint. Ashley used Gesso, added re-inkers in different colors and painted onto canvas gift bags, which came out so adorable! I didn't have any Gesso, in fact, I've never heard of it before, BUT, I certainly couldn't let a MIM Challenge go by without trying, right? I saw that someone used Acrylic Paint and re-inkers, so I thought I would follow along that route :) I like the clumpy texture it created.
I die cut a Butterfly and used a brass stencil (used to emboss with a light box~~remember those?). After mixing glimmery blue ink with white acrylic paint, I then brushed it onto sections of the butterfly. The purple is water color paint. I used double sided tape and popped the butterfly onto the tilted violet wood grain embossed panel and glued that onto the green (paint chip from Lowe's) panel.

Oh, my...now you are mixing up paint! Gotta love you for jumping in with both feet, Helen! Love this result. Great texture and colors.
ReplyDeleteI like this, Helen. ;-) Very clever way to make your own paint, and I think the butterfly turned out very nicely. I love the colors! Great work. ;-)
