Morning all,

Starlight Paints!
If you want to see all the colours'

Today we have Dawn with her absolutely
stunning journal cover..
Dawn says...
These paints are awesome they're pots
of metallic colours that can be used in
a variety of ways and blend lovely. I've
gone for straight forward painting with them
to make the front and reverse covers for my
MDF art journal. I'll certainly be getting
more colours in the future. I'd like to try
making my own mister sprays with them
and get in with a brayer too. Hope you
like this week's make from me. X Dawn
For the front cover I glued lots of different
objects to the front. I used buttons,
found objects, beads, paper clay moulded,
old die cuts, tissue paper and grunge
grunge paste through diamond stencil.
When it was all dry I Painted all over with
a couple of coats of white gesso and let dry.
Then I went in with the luscious Starlight
paints and painted different colours in
patches all over the cover, blending
the edges as I went. I let this dry then
painted another with another layer of
Starlight Paints. I finished it off with
flat back pearls and gems painted with
white Pearl Starlight paint. I did this
so to match in the cherub made
from clay. Painted with Starlights.
For the back cover. I glued odd pieces of
die cuts and lace and doilies. Then used
Decoart Media Texture Sand Paste with
the butterfly stencil and then I used
Decoart Media Modelling Paste with the
Diamond stencil. I pressed some micro
beads into the wet paste for more texture.
When dry I simply painted two coats of
Starlight Paints similar to the front.
There's not many steps to this it's more a
time thing, and I enjoyed every bit.
So what do you think??
I think it is amazing!
