Fun Techniques using Ann Butler Products

I created amazing backgrounds using Ann Butler products. Wtih so many colour options creating is fun. 

I created this background for my card. I used the soft elegant colours to compliment the papers.

Step 1:

These photos show the technique used to create the finished look.
I stamped the coloured i planned to use on a scrap... and added some water to thin it and to where I could grab the colours from the paper with a paint brush.

Step 2:

This photo shows how i spread the colours over the main card base in about 3rds and blending together at the edges of colour change.

Step 3:

After applying an accent border piece of paper I took the paint brush with lots of ink on it and flicked it onto the background using a mix of colours.

Step 3:

With the main background done I 3Dfoam popped the print paper section with the bird ready to apply to center of the background.

Step 4:

With everything glued together I have an amazing card for any birthday and the background colours look amazing with the print images.

I created this background using Ann Butler Iridescents... which look metallic or pearlescent.... and coloured chipboard with it too. What a rich elegant finish.

Step 1:

I put the medium on the baggie on my hand and then applied some water... I then scrunched it in my hand to spread it around on the baggie. It was then dabbed onto the tester paper.

Step 2:

After seeing the tester I then took the big jump and I appied the same technique to this scrapbook page layered background. It looks awesome. With all the fun bright colours of paper the pearlized iridescents medium in Orchid was perfect.

Step3:

While testing the iridescent medium on paper I decided to test it also on chipboard.... and OMG I love it... what a fabulous shimmer to add to make great accents for your projects.

Step 4:

Here is my project using lots of Iridescent medium on my scrapbook page.
