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!

Prima Foils and Rub-on Adhesives

This is a paper mache elephant that I created for CHA using new Prima Foils and Adhesive Rub-ons by Christine Adolph.  I also used a couple of the NEW Mid Release Metallique Paints from Prima.  The two colors shown on my elephant are Rusty Red and Emerald Green.

There are so many ways to use both the Rub-ons and Foils.  I used Artisian tape that I hand cut and added foil to on his feet.  I also cut shapes from double sided adhesive sheets for his head piece. 

Cutting shapes from the Adhesive Rub-ons gave a beautiful pattern to his ears and also to the patterned piece in his head piece.  There are so many fun ways to combine the foils with the rub-ons!

I recently did a mini class with these pieces for Live with Prima.  I've attached it right here so you can take a look, if you would like to.  

If you come up with other ways to use them, please share them with us on Live with Prima!  I've been using these products on everything lately and would love to see what you come up with!

Also, don't forget to check out the Prima Blog daily.  I'm not the only one who is loving these and there are so many great ideas with all the new products, too!

New PRIMA IOD Moulds

Hey everyone!  I've been playing with the Prima IOD Moulds again!  If you are starting to sense that I seriously love these, you would be right!! They are simply perfect for everything from intricate pieces to the simplest things.  Today, I altered the back of a 6x6 tile!

 

I chose to use that back of the tile because I wanted it to be porous so that it would absorb the Color Bloom to coordinate with the misted IOD Moulds.  I also loved that it had a textured background that gave the perfect setting to add some Prima Micro beads and Prima Metallic Paint.

 

After the background and moulds were all dry from the misting, I added Prima Metallic paint with my finger to really show off the detail and intricacy of the moulds.

The ideas and possibilities are endless with these new moulds!  They are certainly something you will be seeing again and again on my projects.  After all, they are made to be used again and again!
