Hi! I'm sharing a fun painting technique for Brutus Monroe today. I used marbles dipped in Aqua Pigment to roll color onto pieces of cardstock to create a fun background for my artist trading cards. I used removable adhesive to stick blank card bases onto a piece of 8.5x11 cardstock, which I then placed in a shallow box. I dropped the pigment covered marbles into the box and tilted the box back and forth, letting the marbles apply the color. I reapplied color to the marbles once to create the backgrounds shown above. This technique is so much fun. Check out my Instagram Reel for a quick how-to video!
I topped the cards with a layered sentiment that I created using the Hello Butterfly Cutting Die Set with white and mirror cardstock. I love the shimmer of the mirror cardstock! It adds a nice shine to an otherwise matte design.
This fun technique is easily adaptable for card bases and scrapbook layouts.
