Items you need
Here are some examples of how you can apply your paint to the Craft Mat, each will give different results.
Don't forget to spray quite a bit of water otherwise the photo paper will stick, and you end up with a
nasty mess.............. You can either drag your paper or just press down, either way your colours will perform differently.The most Important thing to remember is to let it dry Naturally. This is the Cool bit, as it dries the Acrylics start to Crack and Separate, for me this is the best bit as you never know whats going to happen. So be patient and the Magic will begin. Below are some samples of what you can expect to happen. Had great difficulty choosing as wanted to show you them all..........lol
So have fun, thats the main thing and experiment.
You can do this technique or plain paper on card, say for your journal pages, tags or card making, but the colours do not separate quite as well, but still gives some great effects
The above paints were given to me by my dear friend Andrea of Smudgemastic for my birthday last year.
Hope haven't bored you to death, but its my last day as GD for Scrollswork so was determined I would go out with a blast...............lol
Have a great day and please let me know if you try this technique as would love to see, and if there is anything you would like to ask just email me and will be happy to answer you. So its a tearful farewell and a big thank you for Jacque for letting me be her Guest Designer for the month. Hugs Annette x

Woo thnx for this Annette, I have a whole stack of small sized photographic paper and have been keeping it for that time when I knew what to do with it. Now I do, I shall have fun experimenting - don't know how I will have the patience to wait for it to dry though.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
I cannot wait to try this. I too, have a bunch of photo paper is various sizes and will put them to good use now that you have shared this technique. All the examples you used are so muted and dreamy looking. Thanks so much Netty!

Lovely way to blast yourself out! I am a paint squisher/splodger/ smearer as you know, and can only recommend everyone to get their teeth into some paints (???) and get started!
Thanks for the tip Annette. I've used this technique with ink, but never acrylics.
Thank you for your demo. I have loads of small photo sheets so will have a go.
Regards Florence.
that´s fantastic.. thank you Netty for sharing this with us! I will try... great!
This is fabulous Netty and just my kind of thing so will definitely try this as the messier the better from my point of view.
Strangely enough, earlier today I came across a pile of 6 x 4 photo paper given me by a friend - must be fate lol
Thanks! Fliss xx

Hi Annette, oh commiserations on it being your last post, never mind you've gone out in style and with a lovely technique to help us, Thanks so much it's wonderful:0) xxx
Wonderful post, Netty. It is always fun to learn new (to me) techniques. This one is something I haven't tried before with acrylics. I love the one with lots of green, almost the last one, number 4, I think.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Hugs, Heidi:)
Wow, will be trying this when I get home again. Great demo. Yvonne x
WOW what a fantastic colorful collection.

Thanks for this great workshop. Something more for my to-do-list.
Hi Annette
Wow!! What a fab tutorial.
I don't have any of these goodies but it looks like a fab technique .. .. I particularly love the idea of leaving your work to dry so you can see what develops. I feel sure I would be actually standing over it "watching it dry".
Lots of fantastic inspiration and pictures.
Shame your Guest Designer spot is coming to an end. You have clearly really enjoyed yourself.
Love Jules xx
Oooooh!!! I love the last image! You can do the same thing with alcohol inks. I never knew you could use acrylics. I'm going to try this. Thanks for showing your technique Netty! Hugs xo ~ Rhonda
