Take your nonstick craft sheet and lay a piece of glossy cardstock on it
with your inks, blending solution and applicator handy. Apply the Meadow,
Lettuce and Pesto the applicator using only one squirt of each. Hold by
the handle and start pressing it across the paper, turning it slightly as
you work across the paper to avoid a repeat pattern. Do not slide the
applicator across lift and press sliding will cause smearing. Your sheet
of paper should look like the following picture.
White peeking thru is perfectly acceptable. Next you will be applying the
Mixative Gold to the same applicator, make sure you shake the gold up to
mix up the pigments, then squirt one spot on the same applicator and apply
this across the paper as shown below.
With your applicator apply and work the gold around, then take and drop
the blending solution onto the paper and this will make the gold mixative
spread out. Using your application tool work the gold around the paper.
The bigger squirt of gold will result it this...
While less gold added will result in this look
This preference is entirely your choice.
This is the two pieces side by side for a better contrast of the two.
Then you can stamp directly over them and finally here are samples of some
of the wonderful colors you can come up with.
