Pink & Orange - SDC 146

I did it!  I finally managed, after much struggle, to come up with something that I felt reasonably qualified for Corrie's color challenge on the Stampotique Designers Blog this week.  The bonus is that it also fits with the Paint theme for my mixed media ATC trading group.



I kept coming back and adding more stuff until it felt done. The best part was trying a new technique, Paint Blistering.  You can see it here on the heart.


Really simple to do.  Paint a thin undercoat of acrylic paint onto cardstock and let it dry.  Paint a thick coat over it (I just smudged it around with my finger) and then, while it's wet, heat with a heat gun.  After it was dry I brushed on diluted Distress Paint in a darker color to really make the bumps and bubbles stand out more.

Goodies on this ATC include:

Distress Paint
Distress Ink
Acrylic paint
Dye ink
Dylusions ink
Bakers Twine
Washi tape
Bead mix

Thanks for swinging by today!
