Duo Adhesive Glue
Pearl Ex powders
Texture sponge
Sea sponge
Rubber stamps
Black cardstock
Paintbrush set
Metallic Leafing - Sponge or brush a small amount of Duo Adhesive onto a rubber stamp (figure A), then quickly press stamp to black cardstock. Remove the stamp from the cardstock and allow stamped motif to dry clear.
- Once motif has dried to clear, it becomes tacky. Place metallic leafing on top of the stamped motif (figure B), then press. Use a textured sponge to lightly brush excess leafing from the cardstock.
Pearlescent Texture - Use a sea sponge to dab Duo Adhesive onto black cardstock. Don't cover the entire page -- but create any pattern you desire.
- Allow glue to dry, the tap different shades of Pearl Ex pigment powders over the cardstock surface (figure C).
- Blend colors with a dry brush (figure D), brushing away excess powder as you work.
