Banana Leaf
Directions
The following Direct t'Rubba painting techniques can be seen on the video Radiant Pearls: The Journey Begins
Leaves: Three colors of Radiant Pearls were stippled onto leaf with Whiska Brush. Stamp onto paper. Paper was dipped into clear coarse grind embossing powder (KatTrax 3-D), dipped into clear fine grind embossing powder (KatTrax Clearly Speaking), and then melted with heat tool. Paint was wiped from stamp. Three different colors were applied as before. It was stamped, overlapping embossed leaf. This time the paper was dipped in clear fine grind powder only. With the Swiper, the excess powder on the first leaf was wiped away. The second leaf was heated with heat tool. The Kewl Tool was tapped into a puddle of Radiant Pearls on the palette (one of the colors from the leaf) picking up paint in the crannies. Starting from the center of the card, the Kewl Tool was pulled out toward the outside edges creating spin art-like streaks. This procedure was repeated with each of the colors used in the leaves plus complimentary darker colors. The card was trimmed and layered on black glossy card stock.
Background Card: Several colors of Radiant Pearls were applied (Whiska and brayer) to a tan colored card. Using a ColorBox Stylus Tool debossed with flourish from Hero Arts Poetic Prints stamp, Radiant Pearls was applied to outer perimeter. Layered between this and the leaf card is sage green translucent paper (vellum).
