Hi everyone! Monica here with another Amazing Mold Putty creation. I am always looking around the house both inside and out for interesting things to mold. Well, this find was at the Flea Market. My daughter loves to wear gaudy weird jewelry pieces and awhile back I found a flower ring for a dollar. It was very pretty to me and as I looked at it I saw something I could mold into a piece for a project.
press well so you get a nice impression.
To create casted flowers: begin by mixing equal portions
of parts "A" and "B" of Amazing Casting Resin.

Step 1: After the piece is molded, I used Cranberry Ranger Alcohol Ink
to add color - they work beautifully.
Notice how well the ink really sinks into the resin.
Step 2: I take an ink pad and apply directly to resin piece –
a color pigment ink pad works extremely well.
If color is darker than desired, buff away excess ink with a cloth or paper towel.

I've added these handmade flowers to give a "pop" of color
and dimension to this Asian theme tag.
