Acrylic Pouring-Mixed Media Techniques with Katherine

Hi Everyone, it's Katherine here with an "acrylic pouring" technique using lots of Pentart Acrylics as well as the beautiful Down by the Sea paper collection.

Let the Sea Set you Free by Katherine Sutton

This is a fairly messy technique - but it is great fun and gets super results.  To set it up I used a tray, covered in a plastic bag and several plastic cups to mix each of my paint colours in.  I used Dark Blue, Silver, Pink, Teal and Light Green acrylic paints - which are a thick acrylic so I watered them down with some of the Dekor Primer that Pentart has so that they were a thin cream-like consistency - you don't need a lot of paint as the pigment is quite strong, so I used about an inch long squirt of paint.  I also used some of the new Delicate and Glamour metallics in greenish silver and purplish silver as well as the rich gold glamour paint - again I thinned these with a bit of the Dekor Primer too.

I had quite a rough canvas board - you need your base to be something that doesn't warp with all the paint and water.  I then balanced it on some upturned cups so that the paint could run off onto my plastic covered tray - you need it to be flat so you can control how you tilt the canvas and where the paint ends up.  As the canvas was so textured it meant that I got some cracks on my pour which I really like, if you go for a smoother surface this doesn't happen, it did make me wonder about adding some crackle medium under a pour to see what happens.

For the first step I created a few blue puddles on my canvas.

I then added some of the greens in the centre of my blue puddles and then added lots of different colours around the canvas.

I put the edge of paint brush through the paint in a grid type pattern, just to start the mixing, then I tilted the canvas gently and just let the paints run into each other and some will run off the canvas onto the plastic tray.  I did use my paintbrush to encourage paint into the little areas of dry canvas you  can get.  You can also add more paint, at any time whilst it is wet, if you don't think you have enough  Once the canvas is covered in paint just leave it to dry

This is what it looked like after all my titling - I added a few drips into the top of the purplish silver, and little flicks of greenish silver in the bottom corners.  I then left my canvas to dry overnight.

Once dry I started to decorate it.

I used the Mandala die with the Sea Lagoon paper as well as a few flourishes from the Fanciful die set, and added some of the Earth Zinnia flowers in the bottom right hand corner.  I added some 3D balls and also 3D powder, dripping Gold Glimmer Mist on them and adding a little bit of the Rich Gold glamour paint too.  My sentiment is from the Noteworthy collection as well as the pink seahorse.  I added a few gems just for a little sparkle.  In the top corner I repeated a similar range of embellishments.

The paints have a really nice glossy effect and beautiful shimmer.

I added a little bit of silver wax paste around the edge of my canvas and extra gold glamour paint around my embellishment clusters.

Serendipity and Mixed Media Mania! with Elena O.

  Hello, it's Elena here today and I am excited to share with you my tags I've  made.

I mixed Serendipity Noteworthy Die cuts and made some fussy cutting, but before that I started with my background. This time I played with the new Stencil Pastes from Pentart and the new stencils

The new stencils are really great and allow you to add more dimension. I added two colors at once.  They blend together beautifully..

I also made some paper layers and added the color with the acrylic paints from Pentart

It was fun to create the texture with the metallic paints and the pastes

I especially liked the 3D powder and balls, that I mixed with silver and gold paints for a uniqiue looking textured feature.

The birds and the flowers are so cute to add to any spring or summer projects

  To add more shimmer and glow to my cards, I used the new Glamour metallic paint in Gold.  This is unlike any paint I've ever used before. it is highly pigmented, but brushes on SHEER so you can see through to the paper underneath. It is super cool.

I like the result it produces

Quick and Easy Party Decor with Serendipity and Stencil Pastes with Shizuka

Hello, BoBunny Friends! It's Shizuka here.
Today I will share the Party Rosetta I made with beautiful BoBunny Serendipity collection and Pentart Stencil Paste.

These rosettesare fun to make and  can be used at various parties.  Don't you think it will be more fun if you make it from your favorite paper?

Rosetta of the paper I made this time is very easy, so please try making it.  The end result looks really nice!

First cut the paper of your choice to 1 3/8 x 12 and prepare a couple strips, depending on how many rosettes you'd like to make. And I will add folds like the image above. 

Next, prepare two types of paper of your choice. Pull out the two sheets with a BoBunny new craft die "Darling Doily Die". You cut the center part of one of the dolly along the circle.

Paste the folded paper according to the doily paper not cut.
Pull the outside of the cut doily and paste it according to the paper cut into the circle.
I will repeat these two.
Cut the edges of your favorite paper cut to 1 in width and connect it to the bottom of Rosetta.
This time I decorated using BoBunny Fancy Tags Dies.
Finally decorate your favorite decoration in the center of the circle is complete.

It is nice to simply insert your initials or names in the center of the circle.  You can also do a salutation such as Happy Birthday or Good Luck!

I think that you can decorate the layered chip board and jewel and finish it gorgeously.
I decorate this rosette with Pentart stencil paste and Fancy Flourishes Stencils.

I am glad if my project is helpful ♪

Thank you!!

Shizuka
