CelPaste2!

Check out the details on the changes made to the Así es cold porcelain paste for working in thin layers (the new paste is called CelPaste2 Laminate). This totally new paste is great for decorating cards, and for making plaques, mobiles, boxes etc. - anything where the paste needs to dry flat.

The example shown here is easily prepared using a "Patchwork" Cutter. You simply roll the paste thin, cut out and trim the edges and leave to dry, turning over from time to time to get even drying and a flat finish before painting. Look on the cold porcelain pages to see how it is possible to dry CelPaste2 really fast in a cool oven!

3D Crystal Art and Colour Lacquer!

3D Crystal Art is an easy and exciting way to enhance and beautify any image - a card, a picture, a photograph etc. and it gives new creative possibilities!
   

The special water-based lacquer is applied to a particular area, using the bottle and applicator tip, and allowed to dry for about 20 minutes. A crystal-like raised coating results and it is then possible to add additional layers as required, until a truly three dimensional finish is achieved:  (1) Outline the image with a fine line of lacquer, (2) Fill in the outline and leave to dry for 15-20 mins, (3) Raise the image by adding extra layers.

The example shown here uses a card by Bryan Hall, but any card or picture is great for 3D Crystal Art - see more examples on the Crystal Art page
