SPECIAL TUTORIAL FOR THE GALS AT ZUZU'S





Well my friends as I promised here is my tutorial for you, it shows how I made the textered backs for the little chipboard housie charms.
I used Atelier Interactive acrylic paints (rich gold, dioxazine purple and quinacridone magenta).
Quinacridone/nickel Azo Gold (Golden Acrylics)was watered down and used as a wash but any rusty red brown will work.

I used my heat gun between every step to get maximum texture.

thanks so much for this Linda - so simple really but such a fab effect it looks like it'd not be so! (being able to say this as I'm now the lucky owner of one of your housie charms!). very effective finish. great tutorial + pics.
