Anyone up for a fun challenge today? Thanks so much Beverly for stepping in and hosting an awesome challenge while I was gone! Super cool!
Today I have a fun challenge for you...find ways to use paint. Acrylic paint, paint dabbers, crackle paint, stamping with paint, painting chipboard, basically...I'd love to see some fun ways to use paint. Just to keep the focus on paint, you can paint with paint such as acrylics, tempera, watercolors, but not ink. Ink is not paint. Of course you CAN use ink in your project for stamping with but make sure you have some paint on there too.
Please remember to put WT272 in your keywords section and post a link back here so that we can all see your projects. Also, please link only newly uploaded creations for the challenge. We'd like you to use this challenge as fresh inspiration.
Okay...I totally love adding PAINT to brass charms... However, I rarely do it, as it does take time...However, today I used my heat tool! Talk about INSTANT dry time! LOL
Oh, this sounds like so much fun. Almost I'd rummage through my aunt's drawers because I know she has watercolours and paper - but I think I'd better wait till I am home for a couple of hours tomorrow.
Awesome challenge. I will play today, but I have a sneak peek to share for next weeks tutorial made with Acrylic Paint. It fits too well; I had to upload to challenge.
Welcome back, Julia! Thanks for another fun challenge for Thursday. I really like using acrylic paint for the stamps that put down the bg rather than the image per se. I got out a stamp that I haven't used yet with this technique. I did several "off-stampings" to get this bg effect. Sometimes I go with the first stamping, but I wanted something "gentler" this time.
Julia, I put this in watercoloring with markers, because it didn't really fit any other category. If you can find a better one, PLMK! Thanks for a fun challenge again.

I don't have many options in the way of paint. I love to watercolor, but use usually use ink for that, which was off-limits for today. So I had to dig into my kids' art supplies--and came up with poster paint. Not elegant, but I like what I ended up with:

I wasn't sure I was going to get to play today but I found time while the kitchen and bathroom floors were drying- chore day here you know. Here is my watercolored butterflies Thanks for looking!
I hadn't tried the acrylic distress technique before, because I am not really a distress-style stamper. But I thought it would be good to try a different use for paint, and I am glad I did, I really enjoyed it. Not having Copics, watercolours are my maine colouring medium, it was good to get the acrylics out for a change. So thanks for this challenge, Julia. Using Paint goes Flat
Hope watercolours qualify. It took me a day to figure out what I was doing. Stamps I kind of just go to and pull out an image but paints I have to draw first and then haul out all the paint supplies. Well after much deliberation here it is. Waterlily.
Great challenge Julia but I got rid of all my paint when we moved! Then I remembered I had bought a bottle of Frost White Shimmer paint a while back. So I painted my daisies with shimmer paint. Hope that counts. Here is myBasket of Daisies for the challenge.
I made a card for this Challenge the other week in plenty of time, but clean forgot to post it! And then the Challenge totally slipped my mind. Duhh! I need to find the yellow brick road to visit the Wizard of Oz for a new brain.......
Anyway, I LOVED this Challenge. Thanks! Here is my card:
If you look at my SCS Gallery (see link below), there are a couple of other cards I have made using the same technique of watering down acrylic paints and using them as watercolours if you want to have a peek.
