Happy Holidays, friends!  I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!   I want to share a mixed media card with you today using molded embellishments made with   PermaStone Casting Compound  from  Activa®  .  This product is quite versatile and very easy to use. I mixed the PermaStone casting compound per the package directions and poured it into my roses and frame molds. I got busy making multiple pieces because I was having so much fun.  The PermaStone dries pretty quickly, in about 20-30 minutes.   When completely dry, I removed from the mold and gave each piece a coat of  glaze medium . Next, I coated each piece with Timeless  DecoArt Chalk Paint . I painted three roses with Red Velvet  Art Anthology Sorbet paint .  This paint is dimensional and thick, and has a beautiful glitter in it.  It even has a translucency to it if painted on thinly.   I added water to a blob of...

Hello everyone!  So glad to see you today.  I just spent last week at Art-Is-You Dixie, and I learned so many new and exciting techniques and product usage.  One of the things I learned was how to paint and shade faces.  When I got this stamp set from Altered Pages , I knew I had to try my hand at coloring this lovely lady's face. I could not decide whether to make an art journal page or a card.  I decided to make a card, with a twist.  I used an entire sheet of inexpensive 9"x12" 90lb watercolor paper, folded it in half one way, then the other.  I pulled out my Dylusions spray inks and, after first misting my w/c paper with water, I misted with Fresh Lime, Squeezed Orange, and Cherry Pie, allowing them to run together.   MAY IS OUR DYLUSIONS SPECIAL MONTH  FREE SPRAY INK with each OPTION you get a FREE bottle of Dylusions Spray Ink (value $4.95) OPTION 1 Buy a Large Dylusions Journal  OPTION 2 Buy ...
