Introductions are necessary, I have a new crafting surface to share with you. Opaque black craft plastic has just been released by Grafix and I found it to be a perfect base for pearlescent paint. It was tricky to photograph but I think you can see the shimmer in the both the paint and the gold card base. Here is a video of my process.
The craft plastic also comes in white which I’ve used successfully with alcohol inks. I can’t wait to try the new Ranger Alloy inks on the black.
Grafix gave me the opportunity to try the black craft plastic and I had fun with the alcohol inks and paint markers as well as the pearlescent paints shown here. I’ll be sharing more projects in the future and I will be asking my favourite stores if they can carry this new product.

Heather – thanks for sharing. This is a stunning card and I will be anxious to try the craft plastic. Have you asked Tom/Carole if they can stock it? Bev

Thanks Bev.
I haven’t asked CAW yet but I will, maybe we should both mention it.
OMGosh, this is gorgeous! And something new to try! Thanks so much for sharing!
These tulips are so sparkly and pretty Heather and the black plastic surface shows them off beautifully. I think the pearlescent AIs would look great on this too. x
I did try some of the pearlescent AI on it and they did look pretty. I don’t have the alloys yet but I think they will work really well.
Sorry, I just tried to publish but am not sure what happened so here it is again. I love the look of those pretty tulips against the black plastic surface and they shine out beautifully Heather. I think the pearlescent AIs would look great on this too. x
Beautifully done Heather….TFS!
This is stunning Heather. The plastic surface looks smoother to paint onto than black card, even glossy card. The pearlescent paints look good on the plastic; I’m looking forward to seeing the piece with alcohol inks.
Thanks so much Karen, The surface is very smooth but not glossy and is really nice to work on.
Really gorgeous. The black plastic looks fascinating as a base, but your choice of sliver and the special paint really puts it over the top. I can’t imagine the recipient throwing this away.
Gorgeous tulips! I love “seeing” how you created it, thanks for the video!
I’m already thinking about ways this could be used in a Halloween card – thank you!
