Good day to you! Janette here sharing with you acrylic pouring for cardmakers. By now you've probably seen this swoon-worthy technique done on large canvases creating beautiful abstract designs. Today, I'm showing you how I've downsized the technique and how to keep the mess manageable. I'm creating gorgeous shimmer and shine with Hero Arts Glimmer Metallic Inks instead of traditional acrylics.
These are just 3 of the 13 panels I created within one pouring session. Watch the video below for tips and tricks, and to make the most of all the paint.
I f you are having trouble viewing the video, please try watching it here over on YouTube.
I've featured the green , blue, purple , gold and pewter Glimmer Metallic Inks in combination with pouring mediums, white pouring paint and silicone cell creator.
To finish the canvases into cards I've adhered them onto heavyweight white cardstock and adorned them with simple sentiments from
Snarky Mix & Match Messages
and
To Seize or Not to Seize
.
Simple white detail heat embossing or stamping in black ink allow the background to have a dominant presence.
Sentiment die cuts are another perfect simple detail to convey a message while keeping the background focal point. I've used Hello and Hugs from the March My Monthly Hero Kit ( still available! ) and the Smile Stamp & Cut .
Thank you for spending a few minutes with Hero Arts today. Have a wonderful day and we'll see you soon!

These acrylic pours for cards are beautiful. They are so doable. I have always wanted to try this but I do not have a need for large canvases. Thanks so much for this tutorial.
They are all so pretty. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful video.
A great technique, so glad to see it downsized for actual card making.
Great card love the technique.
Beautiful! My favorite canvases were the ones at the end where you picked up the paint from the waxed paper! I might give it a try! Thank you☺
