Printing on Velvet med Colourcraft Pastel Pearl Fabric Paints

Hello everyone!

I had some bits of velvet sitting around from making Crazy Quilt kits and thought "ooooh" Colourcraft's Pearl paints would look luscious on these!" Guess what… they do!

I started off with a couple of colors of Pastel Pearls, and some screens from Thermofax Screens. The one in this picture is one of their beautiful stock images, the rest are ones I drew myself and they made into custom screens!!

First I squeezed out some paint at the top of my image, and then I drew the paint through using an old credit card, making sure that the entire image got paint.

I carefully took of the screen and VOILA! I just want to say wow! This really looks fabulous.

The paint has a lovely shimmer that suits the dark velvet, and the way it sits on the velvet gives a lovely dimension.

I had to try some of my custom designs as well. 

I was so pleased with the results, that I decided to try a linoleum block as well.

I think these worked great as well!

I think that the combination of the Pearl Paints on velvet really is a match made in heaven and something I will be exploring further.

See you next time!
