Shattered Glass Technique Tutorial...Part 2

Decide what paints, you want to use, then using a sponge, stipple brush, even your fingers, you can apply your paints... I love to do this technique with metallic or pearl paints...but you can use any paints...I have some samples from about 8 years ago...that are just plain acrylic paint...On this tag, I used my Adirondack Acrylics...these have a pearly metallic finish to them...
Be sure and let the paints dry...then decide which images you want to use...I used a cube stamp from Judi-Kins and Black Document Ink on this one...Randomly stamp your images...
Then carefully remove the tape to reveal the black cardstock underneath...Now, your shapes, look like shattered glass pieces...
A closer look...I have done this technique on paper mache boxes, that I base coated with black paint...I am working on some more samples using this technique and will share them later...

Debbie,

I love this technique. I have never seen anyone do this before. Thanks so much for sharing with us. I am going to try it and if I am successful I will teach my Club members when it is my turn to teach. Cool technique. Thanks again.
