Window Plastic Backgrounds with Diamond Glaze and Reinkers

In the last post I uploaded, I mentioned using Window Plastic as a paint palette. While completing that project, Painting with Diamond Glaze and Reinkers, I also made some backgrounds using the “paint palettes.”

This is another technique that Judi Watanabe showed at the stamp show on Saturday. It is also in her Forever Diamonds episode on TV Weekly.

Put a two-inch circle of Diamond Glaze on a piece of Window Plastic. (The Window Plastic sheets are 4 1/4“ x 5 12/”.) Add a few drops of dye reinkers. (You can use one drop of ink for a dime size dollop of Diamond Glaze.) Use your fingers or a brush to spread the inked Diamond Glaze over the entire surface of the plastic. (Put the used brush in a glass of water until you are ready to clean it.)

You can add glitter to the wet mixture if you want to.

Take the tissue that comes in the package of Window Plastic and crumple it up. Open it back up and lay it over the wet Diamond Glaze/Reinker.

Let this dry for a few hours.

I just used the pieces I had left after painting the leaves on my cards. I added a bit more Diamond Glaze and ink. Actually, I like this better when the spaces created by the crumpled paper are larger than I ended up with here. Next time I'll crumple the paper less.

Judi's backgrounds weren't as busy as mine. She used a permanent ink to stamp a decorative image on hers. It looked really nice. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with mine. I just didn't want to waste the “paint palettes.”
