Paint play...

I've had a lovely morning playing around with some Colourcraft "Aztec" metallic paint.





This one is not acrylic-based...so is not ideal for use on fabric...

...but WOW!! is it great on paper/card!!

Yes...I've used metallic paints before, but the depth of "bling" in this one is amazing!

(Sorry about all the exclamation marks!)

It shines and glimmers like nothing else...

...and is especially brilliant on dark backgrounds.

I used black 230gsm card...

...and sprayed it with "Shimmering Charcoal" and a bit of "Shimmering Blue" Brusho.

Let it dry...

...then sponged the "Aztec" paint through some stencils that I cut yesterday.

(Aztec paint called for Aztec designs...)








Finally, just for fun...

...I used a couple of Greek helmet stencils that were lurking in my stencil folder! :-)
