How to Make Decorative Papers Fade-Proof!

Buy in White or Natural and Paint with Fluid Acrylics

I just LOVE decorative art store papers But if you purchase these in bright, bold colors, they are going to fade. Trust me, I started out using purchased papers exclusively in my artwork and I found this out the hard way. YIKES! So I set out to figure out how to still incorporate these beautiful papers with metallic accents into my fine art collage work. Be sure to work on a non-stick surface so the papers don’t stick when they dry and you are ready to roll! I’ll show you how to add in a bit of gold at the end too.
