Splashes of Paint

This week until Saturday, all of our Tim Holtz Distress Paints are reduced from $6.95 to $3.95. While many of our Mixed Media art fanatics have been scooping them up, I like them for my scrapbooking layouts and art journalling. I found this gorgeous layout by Wilna Furstenberg using bold paint stripes to create a beautiful and colorful background that showcases her photos. Don't you love it?

If you haven't used them before, Distress Paints are very fluid, so they glide over paper when you apply them directly using the sponge applicator. They are also water-based and blend well with water while they're wet. Once they're dry, however they don't react with water, which means they're awesome to layer. They dry nice and flat and smooth, unlike some other acrylic paints which dry with a thick texture. 

So pop on in to Photo Continental and grab some while they're cheap!
