Mail Art and a Recycled Gift Box with DecoArt

Hi Friends

sharing a gift box and Mail Art envelopes today using the New Decoart Americana Neon lights paints  I got recently. These come in five beautiful colors..........

NEON LIGHTS COLORS

Fluorescent acrylic paints made with bright, concentrated pastel neon colors.

Pink Explosion

Peach Punch

Radiant Yellow

Green Energy

Knockout Blue

I used a silicon mat to use as a Gelli plate , added colors and using a paint brayer spread the paints and took prints on the envelopes and the recycled gift box ( actually the box is the kraft box in which the paints came from DecoArt) ........

After many layers of paints using various stencils, I used Archival Inks and various stamps to create the  designs.........

Second envelope.........stamping with neon paints and some plastic lids/ stamps and archival inks also some Washi tape......

Stenciling with neon paints and doodling with Posca pens on the gift box........

DecoArt Crackle paint and some paint splatters.....

To make the focal image to pop more, I stamped it on a separate piece of card stock colored with the neon paints randomly and stamped the image on it, fussy cut it and glued on the stamped image on the envelopes, Did this with the butterfly/bird  and flower images.......

I do hope you liked these !!

I actually altered a glass star ornament I had made in my previous post which looked like this .............

I added Sand texture paste using a palette knife around the textures and let it dry and then using various fluid acrylics I got the rust effect. Andy Skinner has a fantastic series of You tube videos demonstrating the Rust Technique which can be seen here
