Distress paint Tutorials

Hello friends

Hope you are all good!

Wow the weekend has come and gone already

can you believe its the dreaded Monday tomorrow?Aaacck!

This week I said I would try do some you tube tutorials using 

Tim Holtz Distress paints..... 

as you know I'm a techno dinosaur when it comes to anything technical

so I've tried to master  the art of you tube......may I add not very well!!

 but after fiddling, poking and pressing lots of buttons on my keyboard

I think it might just work

(fingers crossed!)

but first you need to see the man himself work his magic with his really cool Distress Paints

for more inspiration click here to Tims blog

Okay

Heres some quickie info on distress paints

1. Distress paints are  a water based acrylic paint

2. The paints need a quick shake before using

(you will hear a small metal ball rattle when shaking) 

3. The paints are reactive with water, when dry the background becomes permanent 

4. The paints can be used on lots of surfaces from paper, card, canvas, metal and wood     

so grab yourself a cuppa 

 Here is how I like to use distress paints

 Part 1-using distress paints direct 

Part 2 -dipping

part 3- blending distress paints

Part 4 -Distress paint with perfect pearls

for best results slighty dry the paint then brush on the perfect pearls 

using a perfect pearls brush

when using this technique you should get this look

( I used a couple of different colours of perfect pearls)

If you want a more subtle look 

just dab a smaller amount of paint to the area

see below along with a smaller amount of perfect pearls

Are you still with me??

The last video uses a palette knife or craft scrapper

( I was inspired to use a palette knife after recently watching 

the very talented Hels Sheridan.........

thanks Hels just had to give this a go x)

Heres my take on it

Part 5 - palette knife, stamping and adding dylusions

I really hope the videos have been helpful,

 just wish I was more techno minded!

Oooo and do you

Remember my dylusions phone from this post??

well I did film a tutorial for that too and had totally forgot that I had uploaded it

so once I have twiddled with that I will try and share how I created it

in my next post

As always feel free to leave a comment 

just leaves me to say have a fabulous week!

bye for now
