A little more paint pouring
Posted: December 11, 2018 Filed under: Dies, paint pouring | Tags: paint pouring, Penny Black creative dies, Yupo Paper 9 CommentsYes, I have more from my paint pouring adventure to share! This one was done with metallic paints as you can see. When you pour or in this case ‘drag’ them onto the base colour the metallics don’t look very shiny but as they dry, well, you can see how lovely they are. To turn this one into a card I searched through my gold cardstock to find a match with the gold paint. I am a bit fussy with gold cardstock, some is too coppery, some too brown, too yellow, too light, too dark; you get the idea. The one that matched the best this time is a textured gold made by Tonic and it has a white back so I turned it into the card base. I also die-cut a ‘thank you’ from the same cardstock.
As I mentioned yesterday I won’t go into the how-to of paint pouring this time around but if I keep doing it I will definitely share what I learn. For those of you who have done some paint pouring this one was done by dipping some crochet thread in coloured paint, laying it on a base of black paint and gently pulling it through the black paint and off the panel.
I’m not sure of the brand of paints as I don’t own any (yet) but the matte colours came from a dollar store and the metallics from an art store. I was pleasantly surprised to find how many of the supplies could be bought from a dollar store or hardware store.
I have another paint pourer to recommend today and as I said yesterday be prepared to disappear into youtube land for quite some time! Mixed Media girl’s paintings are also mesmerising.

This is so beautiful Heather and the metallic finish really shines and love the shapes you have managed to get with the crochet thread dragged through, it actually looks like trumpet shaped flower heads…gorgeous! The gold for the background card and sentiment is a lovely match too. x
Hi, Hope all is good. Just to let you know that I love the pouring card of today and yesterday, very special but just beautiful. Merci and have a great day, Helene
Thank you, the paint pouring is new for me but lot’s of fun and some pretty results
This is the absolute best I’ve seen you do! Outstanding!
Thank you Betty, glad you like it!
Dried beautifully! Have to get some of those metallics. Love the card.
Thanks, it’s amazing how much shimmer there is once the paint dries.
I love this card Heather. The gold and blue on the black base is very effective, very regal.
Another GORGEOUS creation, I love the metallics!
