Add That Shine and Glitter

Hello friends! 

I am back to share a new project with added shine. The stamp set is super easy and fun to color. I think this would make a great set for kids' coloring as well. 

 

For a change, I took our the Distress Spray and used it as my color  medium. If you have many bottles of Distress Spray/distress Oxide Spray lying around, you can totally use it for coloring.

I used Canson Watercolor Paper for this This way, I can add water without worrying using much liquid or paint. For that shiny red fish, I applied Moon Dust (how aptly named!). I have used Moon Dust several times for stenciling and adding shine. This jar stays moist and wet after many uses!

Once stamped and dried, I emphasized the silver painting. I painted the silver fish with Distress Spray Pewter Stain.This bottle will serve me well in upcoming Christmas projects.  In order not to lose its shine and defined lines, I also silver-embossed the fish 2-3 times.

What a cool card. I keep going back and looking at your pewter/silver fish. The dimension you achieved amazing. I don’t have any of the Distress sprays, but I think I need to consider getting some of them. Might start with that pewter color!
