Hi Everyone! JJ here with more Color Connections fun featuring the Daily Junque paint system, and Pink Paislee’s Daily Junque collection.
For my first layout I misted the background paper with Aquamarine and Dark Denim glimmer mists. I used glimmer screens from the Tattered Traveler and Mementos collections, as well as a letter stencil I had on hand. You can still use stencils with patterned paper – it doesn’t always require a solid background. Instead of inking the edges of my papers, I painted the edges with Pewter glimmer glaze.
I painted some Pink Paislee artisan tape with Pewter glimmer glaze. Organic Garden glimmer glam was used on several pieces of Pink Paislee artisan elements. This is a great way to make white or older embellishments work with new paper collections. I was impatient for the glaze to dry, so I used a heat gun and it created a crackle effect on the tape – which I loved! (If left to air dry it didn’t crackle).
For the title, I painted wood Pink Paislee letters with Organic Garden glimmer glam, and backed it with another artisan element (misted with Dark Denim glimmer mist). Again, impatience and a heat gun got me an unexpected effect – the glam bubbled a little. Since I like grungy and distressed, I’m OK with that.
For this next layout, I painted the edges of the paper with glimmer mist. I let some of it drip in places. The circular elements are Pink Paislee artisan elements, painted with Pewter glimmer glaze.
I painted a few strokes of Pewter glimmer glaze, then sprayed over top with Aquamarine glimmer mist. The glaze acts as a resist, so the two colours stay separate.
I painted more of the artisan tape with Pewter glimmer glaze.
Again on this layout I painted the wood letters with Organic Garden glimmer glam. Tattered Angels mediums are perfect on wood – so easy to colour the wood, and you can still see the grain. The larger artisan element was spritzed with Aquamarine glimmer mist.
For my third layout I edged the papers with Dark Denim glimmer mist. I sprayed it on my misting mat and dragged the edges of the papers through it – so easy!
This time I misted the wooden letters with Aquamarine glimmer mist.
Some more artisan elements, painted to match the Daily Junque papers: Aquamarine glimmer mist, Pewter glimmer glaze, and Organic Garden glimmer glam. The stamps are from the Timeless Romance collection.
I hope I gave you some ideas on how to use the Daily Junque Paint System – thanks for reading!
