Playing with Minx shimmering inks – no 5


I decided to make backgrounds with Minx Shimmering Inks, on all types of paper.
It is really easy, and relaxing to do while enjoying the sun...
As promised, this time I'll show the ones that had some white heat embossing, gesso and acrylic paint on it before coloring with Minx.  See the blogpost called
Playing with Minx shimmering inks – no 4 for more info !








For more information please see the Snapguide tutorial I created .. Check out How to Make Backgrounds With Minx Shimmering Inks - 5 by Art Anthology on Snapguide.

 Have a play and show it to us on our Facebook group Art Anthology’s Adventures in Art !
