I was having a play with the Pigments Sprinkles (#149663) today and created this beautiful background. These are watercolour pigment crystals which you cam mix with water for unique backgrounds. The colours in the pack are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody and Melon Mambo.
There are various methods you can use, but I very lightly sprinkled each of the 6 colours onto the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper (#149612). A little goes a long way. Usually you would then spray it lightly with water but I decided to try using Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046) which I had in a Stampin’ Spritzer (#126185) which was mixed with rubbing alcohol. I was very happy with the results as it helped disperse the colours as well as giving the lovely shimmer on the card. The more you spritz the card the more the colours will mix and blend. After the card was dried - I used the Heat Tool (#129056), but you can let it dry naturally - I embossed it with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (#150646). The peacock was cut with a Detailed Peacock Die (#149582) from Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). This was glued to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) using a Stampin’ Sponge (#141337). For this method I squeezed some glue onto a Silicon Craft Sheet (#127853), and dabbed the sponge onto the glue. Then I gently dabbed the glue all over the back of the peacock which is placed onto the craft sheet. This ensures you have glue on all the detailed pieces so is easy to glue to the card. The sentiment from Good Morning Magnolia stamp set (#149298) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#148551), then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The base card is also Very Vanilla and the cardfront was matted with Gorgeous Grape card.
Have a great day.
