Just a new toy I have. Using the same technique as in the last blog but this time using cosmic shimmer paste on Black clarity card. What a surprise I had when "Frosty Dawn" turned into copper. Wow I love these unexpected twists.

I used a poppy stencil, loading the paste from the top. Then dragging the paste to the bottom at about a 45 degree angle.

They sell a metal spatula but I used the cake one I used in the last demo post

Sorry about the photography! See how I have taped the stencil just at the top and secured it to the mat with low tack masking tape.

I then started to colour the butterflies with acrylic paint but then decided to use perfect pearls  Mixed with the smallest amount of water, you can make a paste and paint over the cosmic shimmer when dry. 

The paste takes about 24 hours to dry sufficiently to paint.

The perfect pearls just gives it that shine but I like the contrast of the acrylic as well 

I didn't quite know what to do with the finished art so have just left it for now

Hope you like it!
