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!

Watercolor Pencils & No-line Coloring – March 2020 Card Kit Inspiration with Kristina Werner
Hello, all! Kristina Werner here. I’m back with some card kit inspiration! The March 2020 Card Kit has some fun supplies! I decided to do a bit of creative watercoloring with the watercolor pencils and the stamp set in the kit.
On my first card, I added the pigment from the watercolor pencils to white gouache so I could paint on top of a dark surface! I stamped one the leaves stamps from the Stronger Together stamp set on Dark Chocolate cardstock and then painted leaves with the gouache mixture. Super fun!
For my other card, I stamped the large floral cluster from the stamp set on watercolor paper in Barely Beige ink so that I could do a no-line watercolor look. Then I painted the flowers by coloring directly onto the paper with the pencils and spreading the color with a damp brush, and also by picking up the color from the tip of the pencil.
Thanks for stopping by today! You can get the March 2020 Card Kit HERE, or subscribe to receive this kit and future kits HERE!
