More Black Salad Spun Backgrounds From My Latest Video

Wouldn't this peaceful card be perfect for a sympathy or even a Christmas card? It is one of many cards I share in my newest video where the backgrounds were created with a salad spinner, Lindy's Magicals Watercolor Powders, Ken Oliver's Liquid Metals and water. The trees is a die from Tim Holtz and Sizzix and "peace" is from Tonic Studios. 

The rocket is blasting off through space on this fun card perfect for kids. The rocket ship and astronaut were created with dies from Karen Burniston.

Here are the last two of the many I shared in the new video all created with black watercolor paper, Lindy's Magicals, Liquid Metals and water spun in a salad spinner. The first card features a die called Dream With Me by Picket Fence and a sentiment die from Karen Burniston. The second card features stars from Sizzix and the perfect sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

I hope my cards and new video inspire you to try this technique and some of the products shown. I sure had fun and will have more videos in this Salad Spinner Series coming soon.

Salad Spinner Series - Black Backgrounds With Sparkle and Shine

Oh my gosh - I am having so much fun with making cards with my salad spinner! I tried using Lindy's Magicals Watercolor Powders and Ken Oliver's Liquid Metals on black watercolor paper and was thrilled with the results as I share in my newest video here. Just look at the shine and sparkle in the background of this card: 

If you like making galaxy backgrounds, or struggle with them like I do, this technique is for you! Lindy's Magicals create a subtle start of sparkle and then the Liquid Metals from Ken Oliver add the brighter shine. IRL they are even more gorgeous! I added a die cut duck scene from Gina Marie Designs and a birthday wish with a sentiment strip from Simon Says Stamp and "birthday" die from Sizzix.

This is the card I show how to make in the new video here. It is so easy to simply sprinkle on the Lindy's Magicals watercolor powders, add some Liquid Metals and spin it in the salad spinner after spritzing it with water. Each time you do it, the result is different but all are pretty! I die cut "You Shine" from Simon Says Stamp right out of the colored background, raised it on black fun foam and put it back in the die cut hole for the eclipse look. The stars are dies from Crealies. 

Here is another fun way to use these awesome backgrounds- create a shaker with the sparkly colorful black behind it. The stitched frame is from Kat Scrappiness and the sentiment is a Karen Burniston die. 

To see how fun it is to spin sparkly colors onto black watercolor paper backgrounds, watch the new video here. Or if you want to use white watercolor paper, watch the first in this series here.
