The Radiant Rain daubers are fun and easy to use. You simply shake well, lightly press down and watch the colour as it begins to flow. They really are a no mess way to paint - perfect for stamps and also great to share with your little ones (they can just roll the paint onto paper to create a picture).
For this layout Mel ran the dauber (spiced pumpkin) over her background sheet of cardstock and also used the paint to cover her chipboard alphabet letters. It's hard to see in the photograph but there is a sweet little shimmer over the paint which has added a beautiful effect to her page.
Nicole used the Radiant Rain daubers on this canvas celebrating her entry into motherhood over nine years ago now!
She found this product amazingly versatile and easy to apply to many different surfaces including tulle, crochet lace and even a cut up knitted jumper. Different textures gave different colour effects which Nic has demonstrated fabulously. She used the rain daubers to not only colour the fabrics and background but also to stamp and to colour and age the canvas piece of her title.
Nic created the textured appearance on the background of her canvas by applying the Cinnamon Brown Rain Dauber liberally over the entire blank canvas and then spraying with water. She laid the canvas flat and then sprinkled randomly with salt. Once it was dry, she brushed the salt off and was left with a gorgeous, and teeny bit shimmery variegated background.
She then applied the same Cinnamon Brown rain daubers to colour the spotty sheer fabric and the pieces of crocheted cotton doily. As you can see, the brown varied from watery and water-colour like to rich and opaque. Nic used the Ginger Peach rain dauber to colour a piece of knitted jumper, some of the crocheted doily and also on the fabric flowers. She also added some Glimmermist to embroidered leaves cut from fabric, to some tulle and also to some Tattered Angels Glimmer Chips.
We asked the very talented Loretta Grayson if she would play with some Luminarte products for us, and we were delighted when she agreed. So we sent her some of the Luminarte Radiant Rain Daubers and waited with bated breath to see what she would come up with!
She didn't disappoint - first of all with this beautiful layout giving Pink Paislee Office Lingo papers a very different look! Loretta reports that she painted the Basic Grey chipboard letters and leaves, layering colours to create the shades she wanted. The stunning background was created by using a paintbrush to apply the colours, then finishing off with dabs of paint using the daubers.
These beautiful butterflies and bird were created very simply by painting Jenni Bowlin chipboard shapes with the Radiant Rain daubers, then adding wire and beads. The Radiant Rain colours Loretta used were Sunburst, Majestic Blue, Spiced Pumpkin, Snap Dragon and Star Gazer. The colours dry quickly, so she was able to build up layers until she achieved the desired effect. Stargazer is a lighter, more translucent colour with a purplish/green opal like effect, so Loretta used blobs of it as a finishing touch, giving the mottled effect.
