Two ATC's

These two ATC's were done to try out my new matte finish acrylic paints called 'Dylusions'.  They were created by Dyan Reaveley of 'Art from The Heart'. and there are presently 10 colours available with more to come.

I saw these demonstrated by Kate Crane at the Great Northern Papercrafts Extravaganza in Harrogate yesterday.  The show is still on today too.



The paints are really brilliant and although they dry with a matt finish they have a transparent quality.  When colours are mixed they do not 'muddy' either which is a great boon and they can be easily stamped on with various inks.




I have used Yellow, Blue and Purple on the first and Pink, Yellow and Purple on the second.  They were applied direct from the pots with a flat brush. Also used stamps, embossing powder (applied with Versamark), metallic pens and opaque pigment pen to embellish the backgrounds  I just love how bright they are !

    These paints look good Sid and I like how you have used them as the background for these.
    Don't tell me you went to Harrogate and didn't come over and say hello to me. I hardly left my perch either. Oh Sid!
