Introducing SILKS....by LuminArte
This is a truly innovative new paint product....a semi gloss, glaze infused with mica, and the most incredible pigments ever. They are so amazing in person i want to LICK them....
I had to break them out and play....Silks are a waterbased acrylic so they make for a great resist. Using my handy dandy stencil brush, a couple really pretty CI stencils i was set to play. To start i put a bit of the silks on my teflon matt....that way i am able to remove the excess and spread the silks out to a smooth even layer....
holding my stencil brush at a perfect 90 degree angle and with a light pouncing motion i applied the paint over the stencils
you can see that the Silks are a bit transparent if you do a light coat and can be a bit more opaque with heavier layers or several layers.
love how easily silks blend together for a million different colors.
now that the stenciled background is dry...i can paint over it with my trusty Twinking H2O's....the Silks create a resist so that the twinks only color the white space...not the Silks.
can you say....DELISH!
i love the bits of writing behind the butterflies....
layer up the twinkling H2O's for a wonderful depth of color.
Silks are available NOW on the Check Out the Dreaming In Color Website....run, dont walk....get some to add into your holiday craft projects....you will love them more than chocolate.
LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the designs and colors are amazing-You should have titled this ENABLER Alert!!! lol
Thanks for sharing
