Future Floor Wax and Aquabrushes

[srogers5]

Okay, got the Future. Do I just put it in the barrel, then dip the tip in Pearl Ex and apply to card?

[Beate]

Yes....how cool is that. I dip it in the Pearl Ex that gets stuck on the lid...or put some in the lid. But dedicate one brush to pearl ex...it's sticky stuff and you can't use it for something else later on.

Hugs and smiles.

Thanks, Beate, I knew someone would come through...and I figured it would be you. Off to play!

OK, I am just being curious. What is the purpose of Futura in a aquabrush with PE? What do you do with it and how? I just love PE!!! I want to try whatever you are doing. Please tell me!!!

This caught my attention as well. Besides my floor I've only used Future Floor Wax on my polymer clay projects. I did a search and loacted the dicussion about this under the techniques sections. Here's the link.

Wow! I was excited to use the pens with just water Now I'll have to get another set for bleach and floor wax. Hubby will wonder why I am buying cleaning supplies - why clean when I have stamping to do.
Any pics with the Future?

I had to do a card with this after all this talk. You will emboss your image. Even our Black will run when future floor wax goes over it. Here is the card I made. I embossed the dragon fly on vellum and then added turqouise and spring green embossing powder. I then cut all those little buggers out and mounted them onto the card.

Hugs and smiles.

I lurk on the forums, but thought I'd pipe in that I've done several cards using this technique. I have two posted in my gallery, they're done with the "Pretty Peacocks" and "Early Spring" sets. On the "Early Spring" sample, I had too much Pearl Ex on the brush so I painted it across vellum and used it as my background.

I think it's one of the quickest ways to use Pearl Ex. Plus I have asthma and can't use most sealers because of the aerosol, this technique is great because you don't have to seal it!

Wow! Just checked your gallery - the peacock card is beautiful!!!
One question - do you clean your floor polish brush each time you use it, and it easy to change PE colors?

It's just like a blender pen - run it over a scrap piece of paper until the old color is gone. Switching colors is simple and quick.

Okay ~ curiosity. Can you use a blender brush or do you have to buy a new aqua brush?

O.K. can I just ask - How in the world do people come up with these techniques????? We crafters find uses for the strangest non-craft things.
