The grunge paste mixed with FERN Mattint (top right) was slightly less brittle and took a fraction longer to dry. I then strengthened the colour using a tiny drop of <a href="https://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/fresco-finish---slimed-tracy-scott-7652-p.asp" target="_blank">slimed</a> fresco finish acrylic paint (bottom right) into the grunge paste mixed with fern Mattint; this took the longest time to dry. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I really liked was how the Mattint made the grunge paste more pliable; having not used it for a while, the grunge paste had become a little stiff.

I’m really enjoying having all my supplies back on hand and PaperArtsy HQ have been busy creating colour magic with the new Mattints, so let’s take them out for a spin and see what they can do. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Mattints topic immediately had me thinking about exploring all the different ways you can use them. After all, this is the first time I’ve had the product in my hands and I was keen to figure out how they would fit into my mixed media makes. After watching Leandra’s Facebook live in the PaperArtsy People group, I was inspired to create a journal page from a series of square swatches, which would let me play with combining the Mattints with other supplies.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1Kq2E8AVCZPZdER2xKMyiSICaW5tmzfPb3y_U442a-jIbhRhmArUqpJvIDU643kg5DEvpLfjSFxgDVcethDoUiE6B4A_F6Q4fr1i5XZHNpuNC7GNkbRnT9qKPsfSIwZoF08t-vyHkiVBFS56qlQQCxTxdzsfTXTjcJ1CbSdZ4MslfkCHglfg0h_wyLM/s3024/PaperArtsy%20-EKC54&PS061VW-finishedproject%20.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1Kq2E8AVCZPZdER2xKMyiSICaW5tmzfPb3y_U442a-jIbhRhmArUqpJvIDU643kg5DEvpLfjSFxgDVcethDoUiE6B4A_F6Q4fr1i5XZHNpuNC7GNkbRnT9qKPsfSIwZoF08t-vyHkiVBFS56qlQQCxTxdzsfTXTjcJ1CbSdZ4MslfkCHglfg0h_wyLM/w640-h640/PaperArtsy%20-EKC54&PS061VW-finishedproject%20.heic" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love the effect of all those swatch squares, laid out next to each other on the journal page.

I also picked Kay Carley’s stamp set <a href="https://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/eclectica-kay-carley-54-9633-p.asp" target="_blank">EKC54</a> and her stencil <a href="https://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/061-pa-stencil-by-kay-carley-7388-p.asp" target="_blank">PS061</a>, for some floral focal points. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Finally, to give some extra colour variation, I decided to include some other PaperArtsy colour mediums to mix with the Mattints.

They have a toothy and slightly tacky texture, so one of the first things I wanted to test them out with was some <a href="https://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/craft-tools-256-c.asp" target="_blank">PaperArtsy Printed Tissue</a>. I started off by applying a generous coat of the Mattint (<a href="https://blog.paperartsy.co.uk/2023/11/new-paperartsy-products-mattints-just.html" target="_blank">Shark</a>) to the card. I then placed the tissue paper over the top and added another coat of Mattint over the top. Whilst it worked well at generally holding the tissue in place, I did find it peeled up slightly at the edges and applied a bit of extra glue to hold it down. I really liked how the colour builds with each layer of Mattint applied, so you are in total control of how vibrant the colours are on your final piece. So my tip is, apply it liberally so you get good adhesion.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhKoxHiWoLqtjf_QIdzkw6nHRzK5B8riNi4zWFxo6igZm_Oh7UzJktjyLO9-9BQxpaigswZYoMvG56pksYxTcQuD-A8t8Gix6ioEDdLYtPvnAiXepQytuatwq5QMBkg84VNcDUJPDWgf-gsXYMUKC-kD4GG-3KkXxXWVFPVRScdIo5XHd_GmbXENHwnBQ/s2048/PaperArtsy%20-EKC54&PS061VW-2a.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhKoxHiWoLqtjf_QIdzkw6nHRzK5B8riNi4zWFxo6igZm_Oh7UzJktjyLO9-9BQxpaigswZYoMvG56pksYxTcQuD-A8t8Gix6ioEDdLYtPvnAiXepQytuatwq5QMBkg84VNcDUJPDWgf-gsXYMUKC-kD4GG-3KkXxXWVFPVRScdIo5XHd_GmbXENHwnBQ/w640-h640/PaperArtsy%20-EKC54&PS061VW-2a.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Mattints and Infusions</span></h3></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">As a watercolour addict, Infusions are a colour supply of choice for me. They are made to shift with water, so I knew combining them with the Squeezed Mattint would require some thought. I decided that I wanted to test how much the colour shifted if I used the Mattint as a glaze, over the top of the Infusions. I sprinkled some Infusions (<a href="https://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/infusions-dye-stain---are-you-cerise-6213-p.asp" target="_blank">Are You Cerise</a>) onto a square of card and spritzed with water. Once dry I applied a coat of Mattint (<a href="https://blog.paperartsy.co.uk/2024/02/2024-new-paperartsy-products-mattints.html" target="_blank">Squeezed</a>) with a paint brush. The key to this is a gentle, light hand! The walnut crystals in the Infusions were definitely shifting, so go carefully to avoid stripes.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLL_zDhs4Wi4ztM-p3aJ95ppIxhDM-MihzvJs4hxwmbeIzTkg3cHStxND_aYiPlcaVXAuDyYU4tSRw1Df-PEAa9RtzzwuoGPn7_fX-Yw5GOC1phKWNSNBihut82gIbze_NTabyoCvazi0uZ8750dSbYYe6WG1lcBDOWzJN2UszFxAjXTbg5qaWzONXocc/s2048/PaperArtsy%20-EKC54&PS061VW-2b.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLL_zDhs4Wi4ztM-p3aJ95ppIxhDM-MihzvJs4hxwmbeIzTkg3cHStxND_aYiPlcaVXAuDyYU4tSRw1Df-PEAa9RtzzwuoGPn7_fX-Yw5GOC1phKWNSNBihut82gIbze_NTabyoCvazi0uZ8750dSbYYe6WG1lcBDOWzJN2UszFxAjXTbg5qaWzONXocc/w640-h640/PaperArtsy%20-EKC54&PS061VW-2b.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Mattints and Ink Sprays</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">With their matte finish, I wanted to test out how other mediums might sit on top of a coat of Mattint.

Once dry, I coloured the florals with coloured pencils.

If you want the boldest colour possible, apply a generous layer to both sides, then with each additional application you will build depth. You can also use the Mattint as an adhesive, so once saturated, then placed onto white card you will get quite a strong version of each colour.
