Basic Backgrounds 07/30/13

I very seldom use a brayer. Just can't make them work. But this is one of those technique you can't mess up even with a brayer. Here's what you'll need: Spray bottle with water, Perfect Pearls, paint brush, Glossy card stock, Rainbow pad and a brayer.
First thing we're going to do is take a small amount of metallic Perfect Pearls, just what you can pick up with the end of your paint brush, and mix it with a little bit of water to make a paint.
Next take a rainbow ink pad like a Kaleidacolor or a Big and Juicy and using the brayer add the ink to your Glossy card stock.
Spray the card stock with water. Now using the paint brush pick up the Perfect Pearls and flick them onto the inked card stock. Spray the card stock with water once again. Using the heat gun and a balled up piece of paper towels, heat and pounce with the paper towel at the same time. It will only take a minute to dry up all of the liquid.
Here are 3 backgrounds I did using different rainbow pads and different metallics.
Check back next week for another quick brayered background technique.
