Mix Shading By adding either white 66 or black 63 to any of your aqua tints you can change the colour to give you more of a colour palette.

Using Gold/Silver from Essentials Set Put a few drops of aqua tint colour on a craft mat and add a tiny bit of either gold or silver paint to an existing colour on a craft mat. Once this is painted on your paper it will give an amazing shimmer effect.

Supplies:

• Spectrum Noir Aqua Tints
• Card stock
• Cornflour
• White Acrylic Paint
• Stencil

Make homemade texture paste with white acrylic paint and cornflour. While mixing, add a few drops of Aqua Tints – your chosen colour. This gives you homemade texture paste that can be stored in a sealed container for about a week.

As I say, the possibilities are endless so be creative with your Aqua Tints and find lots of other ways you too can use them in your crafting!

Clingfilm Effect

Supplies

Spectrum Noir Aqua Tints

Watercolour Card

Large Flat brush

Household Clingfilm

Put a water wash over the paper then add 3 -4 aqua tint colours – these will blend but you can also help this with the use of a wet brush.

Crumple up some cling film and lay this on the card and set this aside to dry naturally.

Once dry, peel off the cling film to see the effect. This is a unique technique as each time you do it NO two will look the same!

Enjoy!!

 

Splatter Effect
