Balloon smash acrylic pour updated with link

Today it was a bit of a lost day, busy and
cold. Tonight I thought I'd have a play while
the footy was on and played with a new technique,
using a couple of balloons blown up a little and
dabbing it onto the wet paint.
 This is my very first attempt at Acrylic Pouring.
Rather fun technique but I had to stamp then 
'fussy cut' my image on the Scan n Cut then double
foam it to the canvas as the stamp wouldn't go on clearly.
The lantern was painted/dabbed with yellow acrylic paint.
The paint was a bit thin as many additives are needed and 
obviously I was a tad light on with my ratios...
These are Lavinia stamps and are available at

That technique you used produced one fantastic background! Love how the tiny lantern shines brightly against all that color! Beautiful!

Bunny said...

I agree. It is fantastic. Lovely colors and I may have to purchase some of those Lavinia stamps. I'll tell my husband that you were the enabler. That's what I told him about the poly chromos. It's lovely to have friends in another country you can put the blame on. [Bunny]

Donna Ellis said...

Hi, Annie! What an interesting technique! I've never heard of it, so of course had to jump over and take a peek at the link you shared. I liked it both before the balloons and after! What a fun technique. Did you have fun using up your paints? I can see why it would leave a deep texture. LOVE IT and your fussy cutting. Wonderful card! Such a pleasure to see your pretty card at Lavinia World Challenges. Hope to see more of your creations in the future.
Smiles,
Donna
