We hope you enjoy another installment of "How to" with Lisa.
"Liquid pearls"
Supplies: Chipboard shape Ranger Liquid Pearls
Step One: Apply Liquid Pearls all over the surface of your snowflake. Now, unless you spread it with a different tool (like your fingers or a popsicle stick or something) it's going to look bumpy-lumpy. I think it adds some nice, unique texture to the snowflake. If you want it to be smooth you will just have to smooth it with your fingers or popsicle stick or something else!
What can I do with Riff Raff Chipboard? For those of you wondering or looking for new ideas, your answer may be here. Riff Raff chipboard can take a wide variety of mediums so we will post "How-tos" that outline some of the different techniques.
"Shiny Pretty Things"
Supplies: Chipboard shape Ranger Perfect Pearls Alcohol ink Glossy accents Fluffy paintbrush Step One: Working on a small area at a time, cover the shape in alcohol ink. Then quickly sprinkle the Perfect Pearls over the still wet alcohol ink using your fluffy paintbrush. Step Two: Keep applying the alcohol ink and then the Perfect Pearls until you have covered the entire shape. Now we wait until it dries. Step Three: Once it is dry, cover the entire shape with a nice thick coat of glossy accents. Now we wait until that dries, which will take at least an hour or more depending on how thick it is. After it has dried, it should be beautiful and sparkly! If you want to skip the glossy accents, you still get a neat effect...just not super shiny!
