Mark Making with Liquid Pearls by Miriam Prantner

Channel your inner artist with today's tutorial, where Miriam Prantner shares a simple technique for painting with Liquid Pearls to create unique backgrounds with big impact. These quick cards are also easily mass producible, allowing you to make a bunch of cards in a hurry.

Instructions 

Hi friends, today Im sharing how to create simple and impactful card backgrounds using Liquid Pearls for mark making. 

 

Step 1: Cut Distress Black Heavystock into 4 1/4x 5 1/2panels and assemble supplies: selected Liquid Pearls colors, Ranger Artist Brush(es), and water.

 

Step 2: Squeeze out some of your first color onto your craft mat and dilute a little with water.

 

Step 3: Randomly paint vertical marks onto heavystock panels.

 

Step 4: Repeat with additional colors. There is no need for marks to be uniform, variation just adds to the effect. 

 

Step 5: For a fuller pattern, repeat steps 3-4. Using a thinner brush adds another level of texture. Feel free to paint over/overlap your marks as Liquid Pearls dry very quickly.

 

Step 6: Use Anti-Static Pouch to treat black heavystock and then ink/emboss sentiment using Clear/Emboss It Pad and Silver Embossing Powder. Fussy Cut sentiment.

 

 

Step 7: Assemble cards: trim down painted panels and adhere to Make Art Perfect Cardstock Landscape Cards. Adhere sentiments with foam adhesive.
