Cosmic Shimmer Mixed Media Acrylic Paint :D


A fun painty mixed media pair of cards for my 5th Creative Expressions Design Team post :D :D I really enjoyed messing around with these fab mixed media acrylic paints, applying them with a mini ink blending tool, spritzing with water and adding in Pixie Powders, leaving that to dry then stamping with the paints too, and flicking on masking fluid at the beginning to leave some little white flecks etc... and the great thing is I was only using an A6 piece of card, but I managed to create two cards out of it :D :D It's quite difficult to capture all the subtle layers in a photograph or in the video, but even doing the second generation of stamping with acrylic paint looked great and mixing the paints with lots of other Cosmic Shimmer goodies works fabulously too :D Hope you liked the cards!! :D Oh, and those Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll pens are phenomenal!! Sooooo much sparkle :D :D :D
