WT150 - Paint the Town Red

[Julia S]

Wow! It's already 150 Ways to use it Challenges! Time flies! This week we're going to paint the town red! or white, or pink or blue...you get the picture. Pull out your PAINT and have some fun with it! Now I'm not talking about painting with inks... we want to see real honest to goodness paint here. Acrylic paint is really great for working with papercraft designs. The new Ranger crackle paint is super too. I'm sure there are other paints out there and lots of fun ideas...painting on transparencies, painting an altered item, how about masking?

Please remember to put WT150 in your keywords section and post a link back here! We'd all love to see your work! Please remember this is a challenge and not a contest...you can create as many designs as you with and there are no time limits.

I never make the first page! WOW! I have TONS of paints...sounds like a great challenge to me!! I'll be back later as I do have some stamp time coming my way today!! Thanks Julia!!

[beadn&stampn]

Sounds fun!

[Maxell]

Now this is a challenge! Need to check out my acrylics-may be dried up. My day to volunteer at the Senior Center and also getting my hair cut and colored but will hopefully have time to *create*. Thanks.

I have a question. I thought that you could make your acrylic paint match the SU! colors by adding reinker to the paint. I tried this awhile back with white acrylic paint and the color was very dull and washed out. Has anyone done this with success? Should I be using a different base paint? I really want to play tonight - well, play between laundry.

[TreasureOiler]

I only have a few acrylics but I have tons of chipboard and some paper maché boxes...I'm sure I can come up with something! Sounds fun! Thanks Julia!

[imastampin]

Paint, plain old paint? Wow, that sounds interesting. I'll have to see what I can find around here.

[DeborahLynneS]

This is great-- I haven't pulled out the acrylics in ages!!! Got a base coat on-- waiting to get going on the fun stuff!!!

[arc]

Great idea Julia! Here's one I did a while back. I'll try to make a new one this afternoon.

White acrylic paint is right. I forget how many drops of reinker i used. Maybe 20 or more. Depends on how dark you want it. I haven't used it on paper but on a clipboard. You just have to keep playing. Good luck.

too fun Julia!

Julia, I have used this acryllic paint before, but it was forgotten for quite some time. The photo does not show the shimmer of the cardstock - wish it did - it is sooo pretty. Thanks for jogging my memory about acryllic paints. Hope you like my

Thanks for a great Challenge Julia...I'm up much earlier than usual...hmm...let's see what I can do before I have to get the kiddo off to school...I have 45 minutes until I have to get her up...not even sure that I have paint...but I will see...if not...I can always sit this one out and be inspired by everyone else's, no doubt, inspiring work...

Happy Stampin! God Bless!

Thanks Julia. Another great challenge! Anne.

[Stamps'nCoffee]

I love to paint!!!! Hope I can make the time to play!!! Thanks Julia!!

[pammyrn]

Well I thought this was going to be easier than it was. I first embossed the back of a pad of paper cardboard with my cuttle bug D'vine swirls. Then I painted with Delta cream coat paint. Too dull for me so I brushed on some glitter paint. Too shiny for me so I then sprayed with Memories mists amaretto. Well then that was ok. So I went to the task of making the card, and this is what I came up with.

Painted Thank you

Thank you for looking.

[markie's mom]
