Paper Craft Planet

Paper Crafting, Rubber Stamping, Scrapbooking, and more

And here is is FINALLY!


First you need some watercolor paper, I used 250lb Arches cold pressed, and some torn tissue paper. Tape the paper to a surface and wet thoroughly.




Add some watercolor paint OR reinkers in desired colors, don't mix compliments or you will get mud! Add crumpled pieces of tissue.

Add more paint or reinkers and smoosh down GENTLY with a brush. Allow to dry.

Seal with matte medium or puzzle glue.

You can stop here OR.......

I used the matte medium and some ranger Perfect Pearls in a reddish purple color to coat the paper again and let dry.
You can stop there OR........

I used some gold acrylic paint and my finger to rub on some gold paint on the high spots of the surface.

And here is the finished product. Just trim off the excess edges and you have some beautiful paper you will NEVER find in a store!

You are gonna have to wait to see the finished card because it is Sunday and I am going to see my family now. It is gorgeously sunny right now and I am in the BASEMENT! DUHHHHH!

My card is half done! Check back tonight!

Thanks so much for sharing
You are welcome Dawn! I am all about the technical terms, not! LOL!


I normally would have left more paper showing with all that effort put into it but I figured I would make it an entry for friday sketchers and this was the sketch so c'est la vie! You can still see enough of the texture and gold.
