SCRIBBLES 3-DIMENSIONAL GLITTERING PAINT, SAMPLER PACK (AVAILABLE IN THE FABRIC PAINTING SECTION OF CHAIN CRAFT STORES) WERE USED TO PUT DOWN DOTS OF PAINT ONTO BLACK CARDSTOCK. (PICTURE #2)



USE YOUR FINGER TO TAP AND PAT THE DOTS UNTIL YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE PAPER COVERED. YOU DON'T WANT TO MIX THE COLORS TOO MUCH; YOU JUST WANT THE COLORS TO MEET. SET ASIDE TO DRY. (PICTURE #3)



IF YOU OBJECT TO GETTING YOUR FINGERS IN YOUR ART YOU COULD USE SOME SORT OF TOOL SUCH AS SPONGES. JUST BE SURE TO KEEP USING A CLEAN SECTION OF THE TOOL SO THAT YOU DON'T MIX THE COLORS TOO MUCH.

HOWEVER, USING YOUR FINGERTIP ADDS A BIT OF TEXTURE TO THE FINAL BACKGROUND. AS WITH ANYTHING SPARKLY THE SCANS DON'T REALLY SHOW THE TECHNIQUE VERY WELL, BUT IT IS A VERY COLORFUL BACKGROUND.

CUT A PIECE OF GLOSSY BLACK CARDSTOCK TO FIT PREPARED CARD. TRIM BACKGROUND WITH DECORATIVE SCISSORS SO THAT IT IS ABOUT 1/4" SMALLER AND ATTACH TO GLOSSY LAYER.
