Mixed Medium With Shari Carroll: Pallet Brush
Happy Wednesday!! I have some inspiration for you today using a unique base for my mixed medium project. I have been looking at this Paper Fashion Paint Pallets and decided to take the plunge to turn it into a treasured display piece. I had an old paintbrush that I wanted to use which started this whole idea rolling.
I covered the pallet with gesso, added a die-cut heart, torn papers, crackle paste, and used the Rose Bouquet stencil with frosty paste to build up layers. In this project, I use Glazing medium to help get the paint into the valleys of the crackle paste. It gives you time to wipe off the paint sitting on the top.
I used Art Stones to frame the heart so it would stand out more and used a wash of paint to give them a hint of color. To finish the piece, I added flowers that match the papers.
I hope I’ve given you the inspiration to try a project on a not so obvious surface for a unique piece to treasure. Enjoy!!

Glitter Paste Over Colored Ink Blending
Hello crafty friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you today, sharing a beautiful ink blending technique that is bursting with color and sparkle!
The new Ranger Stickles Glitter Gels are a stunning, sparkly gel paste that can be used on their own, or with inking techniques for an iridescent and shimmery finish.
I started my card by ink blending Distress Oxide inks through our new Simon Says Stamp Bursting Hearts stencil. Before removing the stencil, I applied a layer of the Nebula Stickles Glitter Gel over the ink blending. This resulted in a vibrant, shimmery finish over the rainbow of hearts cascading across my card.
For sentiments, I chose the new CZ Design Like You stamp and die set – be sure to watch the video to see how I created this unique, rainbow effect on the sentiment, which coordinates with the colors in my background.
This blended background is so easy and fun to create. I hope you are inspired to try this technique out for yourself!
