Thanks to Dollar Tree for providing basic crafting supplies at the super great purchase prices!!! The set of 3 bottles (one is aerosol mist style and 2 are squeeze style) were bought for $1. I got a 4 paint set with red, blue, green, and yellow for $1.
In the aerosol bottle I added red and most of the blue. However, blue was added first so that's what misted/squirted out. As I keep using it I'm hoping to get more mixed results for purple.
In the middle bottle shown in the photo, I put some blue, green, and some yellow.
In the last bottle on right in the photo, I put green and most of the yellow in order to get more of the "spring green" tones.
I'm glad I took this plunge. I've periodically used some spatter painting and I've done household painting for walls, shelves, doors, etc. but this was a big step out of my comfort zone of paper-crafting techniques.
I'm thrilled with the results!!!!
Crafting and experimenting in the heartland, Becca
