Mica Powders!

These are just so fabulously gorgeous I just had to share a few quick piccies!


This is the Vintage Kit, containing Antique Green, Enchanted Green, Antique Blue, Antique Red, Black Pearl and Antique Gold.
The Flower is done by smudging Tim Holtz Embossing Ink onto a paper flower and brushing the Mica Powder over with the brush from the kit.

Hopefully you can see the sparkle! They're a beautiful, vibrant pearl finish. The Birdcage is a mix of Black Pearl and Antique Gold.

So shiny!!


Excuse the poor close ups! I wanted to show off the detail. The swirls and dots are done with a gluepen.







And that is how fab they look onto black cardstock! Stamped in clear ink, then brushed over the top.

I'll do a more detailed post on these soon! But they've only just arrived and I just had to share the prettiness!

RRP £13.99 for a kit including 6 powders, a brush, and a mini mister for setting and water techniques.
