Creating and Using a Color Wheel with Silks Acrylic Glazes

 

Creating a Color Wheel with Silks Acrylic Glazes

I am passionate about Silks Acrylic Glazes. I can get sheer gorgeous color and shimmer with one coat or use more than one layer to achieve opaque brilliant shimmery colors. In this article I illustrate how easy it is to use color theory, create tint and shades with these beautiful paints.  

Once you have decided what colors you want to use for your Silks Acrylic Glaze Color Wheel, you can start trying out different color theories. I decided to use tags as they are small and easy to experiment with. Here are a few illustrations.

For my color wheel I used the following Silks Acrylic Glazes: Sunburst Ginger Peach Spicy Tomato Love Struck and Spicy Tomato Combined Love Struck Jasmine Snap Dragon Sapphire on Ice Sky Blue Teal Zircon Emerald and Key Lime

For my tags I also used the following Artistcellar Products:

• White and black pens 
• The Viva Decor Pearl Pen 
• The Black Ranger Archival Ink Pad 
• The Blue Moldable Stamp 
• The Arrow, Cherry Blossom, and Constellation Stencils and 
• The Parrot Fiber Mix

Blue Moldable Stamps + Stencils + Heat Tool= Personalized Stamps!

I have been collecting stencils for awhile now and I love them. I am always looking for new ways to use them. I was thrilled when I discovered that I could turn my stencils into stamps...(drum roll please) and the product to do that with only costs $1.50 to make 2 stamps! You need Blue Moldable Stamp, and stencils such as Brain Coral Stencil, and the Constellation Stencil. Here is the tutorial for turning your stencils into stamps! :)

After I made the stamps, I decided I would have fun making my own gift paper and tags. I simply stamped deli paper with the Blue Moldable Stamp that I created and Ranger Archival Ink Pad. I heat set the ink and then added Tim Holtz Distress Stains to color my paper.

For my finished project, I wrapped a gift using this deli paper. I sprayed tags with Homemade Silks Acrylic Glazes sprays, dried, and then stamped as described above. I created roses with the stamped and stained deli paper as well. Finally, I put it all together with Burlesque Fibers and a Black Viva Decor Pearl Pen. 
For those of you who haven't tried the Home Made Silks Acrylic Spray Paints, here is the tutorial for you.  

Thank you so much for checking out my post. I would love it if you show me what you create and your comments are always gratefully received! Tammy Dial Gray www.facebook.com/ArtistTammyDialGray
