How to create a colorful layout

Using the brand new Minx Shimmering Inks I dropped a few drops on each flower...

and then...

I used a Princeton brush to paint the flower.

The minx have a solvent that allows for a slower drying time. So it helps move the product.

Notice how vibrant the color stays! And the shimmer is amazing. A little hard to photograph but it's there!

I did the same with another flower, only this time I used Enchanting.

And one more flower using Radiance. I just love the bright colors! After the y dried, I went ahead and cut out the flowers.

Then I took the 2nd cardstock and I sprayed with Peacock Feathers, Siesta Key, and Concord.

I puddled the colors...

and let them run and blend together.

For the middle of the flowers I used Sorbet in Cayman. I added a lot.

Then I used a heat tool to bubble the color as it dried. To do this, I simply let the heat hit the sorbet directly.

Notice how awesome it looks when it is dry

Can you see the shimmer????

Then I used Minx in Midnight with a foam applicator...

to edge the flowers and the cardstock

I had these resin flowers that I painted with Art Anthology products.

I used Velvets and Dimensional Gems in several colors.

This one is the Rhodolite.

Then I wanted to add color to a butterfly I wanted to use in this layout. So I started with Minx in Majestic.

I moved the color with a brush.

Then I added a little bit of Radiance minx.

I continued to do this with a couple more colors.

I made sure they landed well together

I did use a Princeton small brush.

Love the finished butterfly and the shimmer!

Once I put it all together this is what the layout will look like :-)
