Here's a new tutorial from Celine Navarro on our design team.
What I LOVE about Hambly products is that the paint they use for the design on their papers is simply amazing : it works as a resist when it comes to painting on it :)
My favorite are the white designs on the kraft paper : simply use Glimmer Mist, or Color Wash, or any kind of spray paint and spray over your Hambly paper.
Using a towel, add more paint to your paper.
Spray more paint here and there to have darker parts on your background and use a heat gun to make it dry faster.
On this layout, I used purple Glimmer Mist on my kraft Hambly Couture paper and used a heat gun to make the paint dry.
Then use an edge distresser to make it look aged. For the background i used the Old Lace paper.
You can also add rub-ons to your layout, the white doily rub-ons give a nice contrast.
and ta-da! your layout has a vintage but colorful feel! You can give unique colors to your kraft Hambly papers now!

Agreed! Love the way the screen printed ink resists the spray ink!
