Finally I added medallion gold sequins to the first two cards and matte gold sequins to the third card. Since the paper is adhesive backed there’s no need for extra glue which I LOVE! On the first card I used gold foil paper, on the second card I used gold glitter paper, and for the third card I used gold matte paper. I decided that while I was testing paints I would also test some of the new adhesive papers from The Ton! Effie has recently added a huge variety of glitter, shimmer, matte shimmer, and foil papers and tapes to the shop and I was eager to try some of the gold papers!

I also experimented with the amount of water I added to get lighter and darker shades. For some petals of the hydrangea I applied the paint directly to the paper, for some I wet the petal first and then dropped in paint, and for some I mixed the two colors together. With each card I applied paint in several different ways to experiment (which you can see from the individual photos above. I tried to pick color that were similar but you can definitely see the difference below between the dye-based radiant inks and the pigment-based hydrus and bombay inks. For each card I only used two colors of paint, one pink and one red. Ignore the purple inks in the palette…I ended up not using that color for this project. I dropped each color into a paint palette and added a few drops of water to each color. I stamped the Mondo Hydrangea from Ellen Hutson in versamark on watercolor paper and heat-embossed it with gold tinsel embossing powder. transparent (except for black and white)įor my actual cards I followed the same process for each (obviously).bright colors, but slightly duller than the radiant watercolors.24 colors, available individually or in 2 sets of 12.can be used for watercoloring, lettering, airbrushing, dip pen calligraphy.bright colors but duller than the radiant watercolors.36 colors available individually or in 3 sets of 12. ![]()
