The weather has been beautiful here in eastern PA. So beautiful, in fact, that I got out my flip flops and painted my toe nails this afternoon.
I have so many pretty colors of nail polish and I thought it would be fun to try adding a bit to patterned paper. It gives a subtle sheen that shows up when the paper is held at an angle. This technique would be neat on a card or gift tag. I probably wouldn't use it for scrapbooking, though (it's not acid free). I didn't worry about perfection when adding the polish, just a whimsical splash of color.
A bit of hot pink on the very center of the flower...
A touch of blue on the flowers in the paisley pattern...
And some yellow, orange and glittery purple on a few select dots on my envelope....
You could do a big area or just highlight a single spot. The idea is to have fun, experiment and enjoy your finished product. :-)
