Spray watercolor paper with water (not too much) and then with various colors of Radiant Rain. Here I've used Jasmine, Lemon Drop, Periwinkle, Coral Berry, Irish Mist. Then cover paper with plastic wrap being sure to make lots of wrinkles in the wrap.

Close-up to be sure you can see all the wrinkles in the plastic.

Plastic wrap removed. Very cool!!! There is heavier shimmer where the wrinkles were.

Another pic more tilted. See how cool it looks!!

I cut a piece from the watercolor paper 6" x 15". Then using a score-it board made a score at 3".

Flipped it over and made the next score 3" from the first one. Continue making scores every 3" flipping the paper each time.

Then with it all folded up I placed it on a cutting mat in the corner of grid lines, layed a ruler across, and cut. Repeat for other corner.

It's also a lot of fun to spray through or around things. This is some of the "greenery" type stuff I have to use with sprays (the large fern was purchase from Stamp Zia and the other items at various craft stores. Zana of Stamp Zia was a great inspiration in using these types of items with sprays). There is lots of other stuff that is also fun. plastic canvas, sequin waste, paper doilies, various meshes... the list goes on and on.

Layed on a piece of greenery and sprayed around the edge with the color Fern.

Again spraying with the color Fern.

Here I'm spraying through some sequin waste. I used the color Jasmine here and in another spot I used the color Periwinkle.


The front. On a scrap of white cardstock I sprayed lemon drop, coral berry, and jasmine. Dried with the heat tool. Stamped the saying (Paperbag Studios) with Versamark and embossed with detail black ep. Cut out, punched corners, layered on darker cardstock and punched corners. Stuck skeleton leaves to front with Glossy Accents, layered saying over with foam mounting tape. Also stamped some butterflies (Impression Obsession) on the background using Stazon Azure. A closer pic of the cover. Back. Saying (Paperbag Studios) stamped on a scrap of the background paper with Versamark and embossed with detail black ep. Also tapped each edge on the versamark pad and embossed with the detail black. Attached ribbon under saying.
