How to Decopatch - Using Patchliner & Sparkles

Patchliner relief paint and stick-on jewels, or sparkles, are brilliant for adding finishing touches to your Decopatch projects.
Patchliner is available in a hure range of colours.  Decide whether you would like something that fits in the colour of your Decopatch project - for example aquamarine patchliner with blue papers - or something that will provide a contrast, such as pink patchliner with green papers.  Gold, silver and white are good 'basics' that complement most papers.
 
A little patchliner goes a long way, so use it sparingly.  It's a good idea to get used to the flow of the paint from the bottle so have a practise first.  Give the bottle a gentle squeeze - it's a little like icing a cake!  Before you start, decide how you want to use the patchliner - do you want to highlight a particular paper, or emphasise part of a design that you like?  Do you want to add something on freehand?  If you are Decopatching an animal are you going to add eyes or a nose?  Dots are an easy and effective way to use patchliner while you get used to the feel of it.  
Before you know it you'll be creating beautiful effects.
