How to Watercolor using Lumiere 3-D, a shimmery way to paint!

Today I thought I would share a quick tutorial on how to use Lumiere 3-D one more way! :) I had used this technique on my “Mother” scrapbook layout earlier this month but didn’t really showcase it so I figured it would be a great way to end the month here… :) I hope you enjoy!

Supplies Needed: Cardstock, Stamps, Ink, Lumiere 3-D in Pink & Pearl, ButtonsPretty Girl Cozy Brads, Ribbon, Watercolor Brush, Small Container of Water, Palette for mixing on

 

 

Dip tip of watercolor brush into water then into Lumiere 3-D to thin.

 

Apply water thinned Rose Lumiere 3-D to each petal individually

 

 

Repeat steps one & two with Pearl colored Lumiere 3-D, Only this time just paint the entire surface of the flower image.

 

 

Before the painted surface has time to dry, apply a light dusting of ultrafine glitter to the surface of the Pearl painted flowers if desired.

 

 

Remove the excess glitter from the surface of the paper and then finish the card using your watercolored panel.

 

 

Here’s the finished card once assembled. The gentle shimmer is so subtle yet so pretty, I only wish I could have caught it in the photo as it really appears in real life.
