Paperartsy Inspiration - Fresco with shrink plastic and perfect pearls!!!!

Hi all, I have spent the last few days enjoying playing around for the Paperartsy Inspiration Challenge and this week the designer is Michelle Webb and she is amazing.  Her first inspiration this week is a tag using Fresco paint and perfect pearls. I don't use perfect pearls much and so I decided to take my time and have fun, problem is I completely went off slightly doing my own thing lol.  Did you know you can use fresco paint with shrink plastic?  It becomes all crackly when shrunk and has loads of texture.  Also Fresco paints look fab on black card and looks great mixed with perfect pearls lol.

So here goes for pictures galore lol, my tag has a hidden background almost, as I used perfect pearls as well as the paint and inkpads which mean that when you look one way it looks like a typical background the other way it pops lol

I used Fresco paint Eggplant, Lilac and both mixed

together and blended over the card, I next

stamped the flower from ELB01 onto black card, while

that dried I stamped the script from HP1006 in versamark

over the tag and then used perfect pearls turquoise over it.

I then stamped the script and swirl from above stamp set in

archival jet black and eggplant.  I stamped the leaf in

versamark and added the perfect pearls and then the bubbles from

JOFY09 all over the rest of the tag.  I decided I wanted the 

leaves to pop more so I stamped it with beach hut and cosmic shimmer mica

powder and stamped this over the original leaves.  As

it is it's slightly offset  which means when you see

the mica it looks shaded, happy accident.

The flower I used a versamark pen and then again with

perfect pearls and then added micro beads. The hanging flower

was shrink plastic stamped with versamark and then two different perfect

pearls and then glossy accents.  The words I mixed eggplant, lilac and pearl,

then beach hut with pearl and stamped with a mix of colours on the stamp.

Below I show the edging and paints with shrink plastic :-)

Close up lots of layers

More layers, plus you can see the leaves better.

The edging was a mix of eggplant and lilac paint then emboss it dabber painted over the

top in areas and then UTEE tropic violet dipped in areas.

Close up :-) I painted the chain with the same mix of paints

Now I tested the UTEE violet on the cardstock first and 

it turned green as it's a cosmic shimmer on.  So I tried

painting over the top and then re embossing and where

the embossing powder is on top of the paint it turns a gorgeous lilac,

this is what I did on the side of the tag :-)

 Fresco paint stamped on black shrink plastic top left, how cool

is that texture, I then added satin glaze on top, the flower on the

top right is like the one on the tag but has satin glaze instead of glossy 

accents and the button is fresco paint dabbed on a piece of

black shrink plastic, then UTEE clear on top, the paint reacts

to the heat of UTEE and wow have you seen the texture, it's

amazing.  I think I'm going to do a form of background with the paints

and then in areas add the UTEE, and also if you add the crackle in the

other areas plus texture paste wow it should look fab :-)

Right I better be off, I bet your all bored now lol lol.  Happy Crafting :-) Hugs Kezzy xxx
