The background today was made using Gesso and Pearl Ex. I pulled out the Sew Mini to try out its paces again to attach the background piece to the final layer and used the SU butterfly punch with wee pearls to finish it off. The Hero Arts stamp was stamped with StaZon Black. The sheen of the PE makes this look so much prettier IRL.
To answer a few questions about the Cold Laminate:
1. Rice paper is usually found in specialist stationery shops along with the tissue paper. The texture of it reminds me of really fine tissue paper.
2. Tissue paper can be used also.
3. Cold laminate is to be found in stationery shops also.
4. Peel the backing off the cold laminate and carefully attach to the rice/tissue paper. That is truly all you have to do. (You can purposely scrunch the rice/tissue paper up to give a different effect.)
5. Stamp on the shiny acetate looking side...NOT the rice/tissue paper side.
6. Experiment with a background card. The effect and the colour you will see will depend what you layer this to.
It is one of the quickest background making techs out there. It is very cheap and very effective! Give it a go. You will be pleasantly surprised!
