Hey there! I'm pleased to stop by today to share a technique that
I've been experimenting around with a lot lately - Layered Stamping with
Distress Paints. When playing with these hot new products, I wanted to
use their main distinct properties - their opaqueness and that they can
be layered without interacting - to really experiment with these
fabulous paints. That's how I started Layered Stamping with them. Watch
the video to see the whole process:
Here's a better
look at the finished card. Note how using sprays of water diluted the
top layer to make it a little more transparent, but you can still
clearly where both layers were stamped. There's so much dimension and
texture here!
Another of my
favorite parts of using these paints is the many applications. In the
video, we used the Chipped Sapphire paint around the edges of each of
the white pieces, and it adds so much dimension and a real sense that
everything belongs together on the card. There are so many possibilities
with these paints.
Plus, you can't
forget about the enamel dots as a finishing touch. Try adding in some
Metallic Decor dots from Hero Arts for another fun look. Metallics are a
huge trend right now, and gold is here to stay. Embrace it by adding it
to your smatterings of fun embellishments!
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial today and will give
it a try with your set of distress paints. Thanks to Simon Says for
having me stop by today!
