Rediscovery

Lately I've been wanting to start using my older supplies.  Swipe the dust off them and rediscover why I purchased them in the first place.
I used a stencil with molding paste.  Before the paste was dry I sprinkled on mica powders.
There are different types of mica powders, the ones from Ranger have a binder in them, so you can use them with Versamark.
Others are normally used as an additive to your paints, pastes etc.  It's these that I used.
Then, I used my heat gun and heat set the molding paste until it started to bubble, which at this point it melded with the mica powder.
I let the piece cool, used a soft brush and brushed away the excess, and VOILA!!
This was all done on a piece of matboard.

The flowers are from Prima, I lightly dusted them with wet glue and dipped them into Distress Glitter.


Next I put double sided tape along the outside of the card base.
Using the same colors, and the soft brush, I brushed the powder onto the tape, which captured the powder perfectly.

The card is far from finished, so you'll just have to stay tuned to see the final product.!!
