Photo Altering - Colored Photos

Give your photos a unique look using Lumiere® and Pearl-Ex® to spruce them up!

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Print your picture in color on glossy cardstock.

   

2. Step 2

   Mix Interference Gold Pearl-Ex™ with Crystal Effects™ in one palate, pour plain Crystal Effects™ in the other.

   

3. Step 3

   Using a stipple brush, "pounce" plain Crystal Effects™ all over the photo to give a canvas-like texture.

   

4. Step 4

   Using a medium watercolor brush, paint PE-CE mix over main image (in this case, the flowers), making sure brush strokes are prominent (in other words, don't over-blend!).

   

5. Step 5

   Layer onto cardstock. In this case, I used Sculpted Style to create an "Art Gallery" frame and matted it with Basic Black Cardstock.
