How I use Acrylic skins

How I use Acrylic skins
Always using my left over pourings for creating skins, great to use on cards.

[@StepbyStepbyMiriam]

Andrea, I loved watching you make and explain the card. The result is really beautiful! I would be thrilled to receive such a personalize card from someone with so much thought and time put into it!

[@AndreaKidman]

Thanks so very much Miriam.

[@bonniegatewood2961]

Loved the way you use your skins for cards. Good idea. The elephant napkins were the best I have seen. Hard to find good ones like those. My favorite animal is the elephants.

[@bonniegatewood2961]

Meant to say find.

[@AndreaKidman]

Thanks a lot Bonnie. I never look for napkins they . just catch my eyes when I`m somewhere for shopping.

Absolutely awesome -- inspiring and beautiful. I love seeing how you used the white foam

[@AndreaKidman]

Thanks a lot Meri.

[@monicaeggleton4510]

Great use of a skin. I am impressed with the effect of using the foam for dimension; this is a technique I will utilize in my future work. Peace.

[@AndreaKidman]

Thanks a lot Monica. The advantage of the foam is that it gives quite a good dimension without making the card too heavy.

[@lorettahanks7769]

[@prossynannyanzi7072]

How long can I keep them without the skin getting harder?

[@AndreaKidman]

It depends on the mixture of media you are using to create the skin. But they will always stay flexible enough that they don`t brake to easily.

[@evamooney2953]

Do you seal your cards with anything afterwards?

[@AndreaKidman]

It depends on what material I use, in this case sealing is not necessary, just gluing it down properly is enough.

[@evamooney2953]

@@AndreaKidman OK, thank you. If you did need to seal them what would you use? Thanks for all your help.

[@AndreaKidman]

Difficult, the skins are acrylics and some of them having a special shine I`d like to keep, a sealing might cover that up. I use liquid varnish on acrylic paintings and a pouring medium on alcohol inks for example. I definitely wouldn`t use a gel medium.

[@evamooney2953]

@@AndreaKidman OK, thanks for your advice. I guess I'll just have to experiment. I really appreciate your effort and help.

[@maricarmenperezcarmona4511]

Hola me podrías decir dónde se compra la aplicación y cuál es su nombre para buscar

Thanks for your comment. I`m using acrylic skins, I make them with acrylic paint.
