Might as well get you in the Italian mode (and mood) as you have a video in Italian coming up :)
This week will be all about COLOURING TECHNIQUES. Hope you are ready to be blown away with the DT samples who have come up with amazing tips to share as they always do.
We are starting this week with Gio and marbling paint. We have the Marabu paints in the shop and those are so easy and so much fun to use, I'm sure you will want to try them too. My daughter watched Gio's video with me (she was really pleased when she understood one word: canvas LOL) and is begging me to get some so she can decorate some little boxes to give to her friends.
Those paints (as you will see on the video) can be used on card, canvas, papier maché etc... very versatile. They can be bought in a set or singly.
Enjoy!!

Once dry, I wrote the sentiment using the The Crafters Workshop - Mixed-up alpha stencil and a permanent black pen.
I adhered the page to a piece of folded black cardstock.
For the bookmarks: I cut a piece of canvas to size, and I put it inside the water containing the easy marble paints to get the marble effect.
Once dry, I wrote the sentiment using the The Crafters Workshop - Mixed-up alpha stencil and a permanent black pen. I added and

Once dry, I stamped some swirls on both sides using Hobby Art Clear Stamps: Decorative Backgrounds. I created a mini drawer from black cardstock and I covered the front
side with a piece of gessoed marbled book page. I glued to the front and bottom side some glass beads.
For her samples, Gio used:
