Tips for Using Starburst Stains!

Starburst Stains are brilliantly colored stains or inks to be daubed, stipples, rubbed or "splatted" across your paper making gloriously colored backgrounds!

Easy to use: First add hot tap water (only before using the first time), and stir well. Be sure to shake the bottle well before using EACH time. Now you are ready for some serious FUN!

1. To activate press down gently with the cap touching the paper and gently squeeze until some liquid comes out. Then rub to make a brilliant watercolored wash. White or light colored card stock is particularly effective. Make diagonal or horizontal sweeps across the card to make water-colored effect. Add more color in areas for a darker and a lighter effect. Super!

Heat activating oftentimes changes the color of the stain, so experiment and see what you come up with. Try embossing with MOON GLOW's 2-toned Embossing Powders in a coordinating color! Beautiful! Plus VERY easy! Or emboss and all-over design on top!

2. Make a watercolored wash. On a separate piece of card emboss an image, color it with MOON GLOW Mica Powders and Gum Arabic, and cut out, layering on top of the wash. Awesome!

3. Make a wash, then in several areas, turn bottle upside down and make starbursts in a random pattern. You will find that the starbursts are much more iridescent and will contrast with the wash! Lovely effect!

4. Make a wash. Then lay a piece of Fusible Webbing over the top and hold with a pair of The Grippers under a heat gun. (Note: Fusible Webbing has glue on BOTH sides!) Make lacey holes in the fusible webbing until it has the desired pattern you are looking for. Then remove from heat and pour on MOON GLOW's 2-toned Embossing Powders, pouring excess powder back into jar. Heat and melt the EPs. Embossing Powder only sticks to the Fusible Webbing and will make a gorgeous lacy (MOON LACE, of course!) effect on top of the brightly colored wash! Soooooooooooo unique!

5. Make a sponged effect by stippling the Stains! Great! Add starburst of a second color to double the beauty!
