Prima Color Madness with Metallique and Sparks Paint

Ever wonder how mixing Prima Paint with Soft Gel and a bit of water will work?  Well, I did!  I had an idea that I wanted to experiment with so I got out my supplies and started playing.  Let me tell you, I LOVE how the Soft Gel gave the paint texture but still kept the beautiful colors! 

It is really great how this works!  In this close up, you can see how the puddles give a touch of dimension, but still keeps the gorgeous color and sheen of the paint.  

Tip:  I used the tiniest bit of water to help the flow.  Just a few drops at a time.   

I added a Metal Butterfly and a few sparkles to finish off this piece.  Really quick and easy!  The longest part of the entire project was letting it dry!

New Sparks Paint from Prima

This one was a lot of fun! I had it hidden in a drawer because it was starting to fall apart and have been meaning to fix it up, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.  When I saw the new Prima Sparks from Finnabair, I knew they were perfect for this one!  I also used the new Prima Waxes from Finnabair, too!

The Sparks paints are so shiny and just truly sparkle.  They set perfectly on both the natural elements of this owl and the fabulous Finnabair metal pieces!  I couldn't resist giving this one lots of bling and fun metal elements.  Of course, the eyelashes made from a metal flower that I cut in half are probably my favorite part!  

I added the Prima Wax to the body after painting it with the Prima Sparks.  It gave it lots of visual dimension and kept it from looking flat.

This side view shows the back of the owl's detail.  I was able to pick up a bit of the 'spark' but the photos never do this justice. You can also see more of the metal here, in addition to the flowers that I also altered with the Sparks!  

So, Finnabair and Prima have done it again!  More fabulous products that work for anything, even a broken down owl!
