Bought Inka Gold paints - painted some onto core-dinations cardstock, buffed up - BEAUTIFUL - stamped on top with stazon - even more beautiful - shiny sparkly clear embossing powder over top - even more beautiful. Cut down into ATC size - and all the paint is peeling off the card stock - awful.
Any idea what I've done wrong? Sould I have sanded the cardstock do you think to give it a 'key' for the paint to stick to?
now disappointed as it was a lot of work/time for nothing.
Maybe you needed to cut the card first? I know sometimes if you cut across embossed bits they will chip off. V V disappointing I'm sure. :(
I haven't tried it but maybe it's the core-dinations, just guessing that as it's designed to have the top layer sanded or whatever to show the core colour so maybe there's a kind of coating on it?
Hi Gilly. I've had a similar problem with the same cardstock that I haven't had with, for example, normal bazzill. It does seem to have a coating on it which is fine until it's cut. Maybe try bazzill, but I don't know how you can rescue what you have already done - sorry :(
thanks for the replies people. I think it might be the cardstock - will try again, shame as it was so so beautiful when I finished it.
the same thing happened when my friend used it...it just came off....let's hope it's the cardstock and not the inka...
This also happened to me I painted the inka over mountboard and used rock candy
Crackle glaze over tge top.. Loved the effect but once it dried bits of crackle just started falling out taking the inka paint with it :-/
Maybe use gesso on the base first?
I think i will try that next time!
gesso! never thought of that - I have some - will have another go, thanks for that
Let us know how you get on with giving it another go .
I only hope it works! Let us know how you get on!Quote:

alas I did a bit of careful bending of the cards and again it's all just flaking off - afraid to say I am not impressed.
It may be the embossing on the top.................so will have to do just the card with the paints and see what happens - expensive waste if it is the paints.
:o
thanks for your input peeps.
