Creating Crystal Like Flowers with ICE Resin®

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a technique to share with you using ICE Resin®, ICED Enamels, Glitter, Ranger Perfect Pearls, and various types of paper from vintage sheet music to paper flowers.  I have to say I just love the look of ICE Resin® on paper!  It doesn’t matter if it is vintage paper or newer paper, sealed or not sealed it always has such a beautiful and unique look.  


I mixed up some of the ICE Resin® and then added small amounts of the resin to different cups.  Then I used few different colors of Ranger Perfect Pearls and added it to the resin.  I used the stir stick to mix the ICE Resin® and Perfect Pearls.  Doing this created a beautiful pearl colors.  I used a paint brush to add the pearly resin to the paper flowers and leaves.  When the ICE Resin® cures the flowers have a beautiful crystal look to them and they become hard from the resin.  I also added some of the ICED Enamels™ Relique Glitz Gold Glitter to the center of the larger flowers and the edges of this leaves for a bit of added sparkle.  Once the ICE Resin® has cured the flowers can be added to all kinds of home décor and DIY projects.  


Here is a close up.  I have a full step-by-step tutorial with pictures over on the ICE Resin Blog.  If you would like to find out all of the details you can click HERE.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and remember ICE Resin® isn't just for jewelry you can use it with paper crafting too!
