For my 2nd card,

I saw a card created by a fellow consultant and decided to take her idea but to change it a bit, and recreate a card of my own! J  Thanks Amy McVey for the inspiration!

I decided to use the spray pen and pearl paint.  This mixture creates a beautiful sheen and shine to the background of this card! 

If you haven’t tried this technique, make sure you add a pack of Spray Pens, Pearl paint and a re-inker of your choice to your next order! 

The results are easy and BEAUTIFUL!!!

How to use the spray pen

1. Take the spray pen and add water to the 8th line
2. Next, add your re-inker color of your choice – filling it another 1 1/2 lines.
3. Then add 3 pea-size drops of pearl paint into the mixture. 
4. Put the lid on your spray pen, shake it well, and practice spraying into an old cardboard box!!!

I have played with my pen and have found that there are  ways to make my pen spray different spray patterns….

• Spray your pen by doing short quick pumps, not letting the pump come all the way back up to the top – you will get the larger drops on your card base. 
• Spray the pen “normally” and it will create a fine mist
• Spray your pen close to your paper, and it will get a direct spray, a more solid sprayed image on your paper.
• Hold the pen farther away to create a more mist like effect on your project!!!

This pack of 3 spray pens are so inexpensive (just $3.95 for 3 pens!), and FUN to create with!!! 

As I am creating my pieces of artwork for teaching at Extravaganza, I have been using my spray pen quite often! J

After August 1st, I will share with you many pieces of artwork that I have created with the spray pen!! J

Happy Crafting!!!
