Step By Step Video Tutorial - Glitter Background Without the Mess - Fun Stampers Journey Products (FSJ)

Clearview Sheets, white glue, liquid colors, and Sparkle Dust (glitter)

I can't wait to share with you today some fabulous backgrounds I create using FSJ (Fun Stampers Journey) Clearview Sheets, glue, liquid colors, reinkers, and silks then topped off with Sparkle Dust (glitter) and tissue paper.

The technique allows the glitter to be captured underneath the card so will not come off on your hands after the card is finished.   Great way to have the sparkle and shine without the "fallout" of glitter when the card is handled.   NOTE:   Even though the glitter is contained, this technique is NOT recommended for cards that are being mailed to our troops overseas.

If you are reading this via e-mail, here's the direct link to the step by step video tutorial on how to create this technique:    https://youtu.be/3fQHrp30s9g

I have a couple more samples to share with you today.

Clearview Sheets, white glue, re-inkers, Sparkle Dust & tissue paper.

A close-up of the dried  sample using Silks and the Star-Fetti.

Tissue paper has not been trimmed off at this point.

The stars really show up well and have lots of shine to them too.

This was the "test" one from the video.

Let's Talk Mixed Media - Fun Stampers Journey Products

Thought it would be great today to share information with you about some of the Fun Stampers Journey Mixed Media Products.  This type of information helps each of us in choosing the perfect product for our projects.

Our Journey Mediums can add dimension, tons of texture, and loads of visual interest to your projects. Mix, play, and create! And don’t forget to get a little messy!

JOURNEY GEL MEDIUM (JM-0071)

•        Transparent, use as transparent ground instead of Gesso

•        Gloss finish

•        Tint with acrylic

•        Main purpose is to change the properties of acrylic paint:

•        Alter the consistency (thin out)

•        Add sheen and brilliance

•        Extend drying time

•        Excellent adhesion for collage and decoupage

•        Use for image transfer

•        Apply with brush or brayer

•        When applying to canvas, use adequate pressure to force medium into canvas (brayer is ideal)

•        Use as binder for powdered pigments

JOURNEY GESSO (JM-0072)

•        Pronounced jes-oh

•        Use on a variety of products such as books, journals, paper of all sorts and canvas pieces

•        Flexible, non-cracking (great for die cutting)

•        Quick drying

•        Water resistant

•        Non-yellowing

•        Tint with acrylic

•        Stamp (brush on rubber stamp)

•        Excellent primer for canvas, paper and wood

•        Thinner than acrylic paint

•        Leaves a slightly textured surface when dry

•        One coat coverage

•        Apply with brush (or use old gift card to spread thin layers)

•        Thin up to 50% with water or mix 50/50 with Gel Medium

JOURNEY MODELING PASTE (JM-0073)

•        Water resistant

•        Slow drying

•        Hardens when dry

•        Tint with acrylic

•        Use to build texture on rigid surface & creates rigid support
•        Mix 50/50 with Gel Medium

•        Medium for flexible support 
•        Can apply to any absorbent surface

•        Can be sanded, sculpted or carved when dry

•        Apply with spatula

•        To create absorbent surface, mix 1 part Modeling Paste to 3 parts Gesso, apply with brayer

Works beautifully with stencils to give a specific textured design

   

     ACRYLIC PAINTS  

 

•        The Fun Stampers Journey acrylic paints are an artist quality, non-toxic, fast-drying pigment paint.  The high concentration of pigment provides a rich color.

•        Acrylic paints are water soluble but become water-resistant when dry. They leave a vibrant, smooth, matte finish after completely drying.

•        They can be diluted with water or modified with gel medium to ease the spreading ability across your painting surface and change the finished look of your project.

•        Depending on how much the paint is diluted with water, or modified with a gel medium, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique look.

•        Acrylic paints are easy to use and bring another crafting adventure to your creative journey.

·       Get creative by applying your acrylic paints with paint brushes, brayer, sponges and more.

·       Easy clean up with water or mild soap.

·       Apply to many surfaces; paper, wood, canvas, fabric. Permanent on most surfaces.

·        Colors can be mixed to create additional palette offerings
