Dry Brushing
Please scroll down to see my CAS on Sunday GD post.
I intended to try dry brushing months ago after getting instructions from a designer--even bought a new brush. Layered dry brushing is the theme for PTI MIM, so I was determined to finally give it a go.
I mixed pearl white acrylic paint with Distress Stain tarnished brass. First I tried using 140 lb wc paper, but it was too textured & I didn't brush enough of the paint out of my brush. Today I tried using Bristol paper instead & like it much better. My second layer is made by adding a little Crimson Color Burst powder to the mixture. Instead of stamping on the panel, I die cut it into a frame with Lil' Inker Stitched Rectangles. My latest PTI order included Spruce & Sprigs--so glad to finally have this beautiful stamp set. The dies were out of stock, but Nancy sent me some to use until I can get them. My inks are Pinefeather, Mint Julep, New Leaf, Saffron Spice & Pale Peony. The center rectangle is Fine Linen cardstock lightly sponged with Saffron Spice. I stamped the sentiment from Snowflake Flurries in Pinefeather & the mat is a piece of Pinefeather cardstock.

An interesting technique with a great result - I must try that sometime soon. Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind remarks. :D
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. Another technique I want to try and I, too, bought a brush! This is a soft, pretty background look and the card is so pretty. It is still very warm here, in the 70's, and it's hard to stay in and craft. My tree is still small so I got out and pick up the leaves by hand a few a day.
ReplyDeleteYour painting technique adds so much texture. I will have to try that soon. Great colors in your stamping too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely background for your eye-catching cluster of fall-images! Pretty!
