Puffy paint and Collage Pauge are wonderful tools for creating deeply textured plates. Drizzle lines, swirls and doodles then use your plates to make prints and rubbings.

Draw a design on a sheet of Dura-Lar polyester film using dimensional paint. Let it dry completely.
Place a piece of kids’ storybook paper over the dimensional paint plate and lightly color over the top with an oil pastel, working in sections over the plate to reveal the print on paper.
Place a sheet of Dura-Lar onto a piece of colored construction paper on top of deli paper. The construction paper will help you see the designs and the deli paper protects your work surface. Shake the Collage Pauge bottle then drizzle the medium onto the Dura-Lar creating freeform swirls and lines.
Before the Collage Pauge dries, add texture by shaking glitter over the drizzled design so that it completely covers the wet medium. Allow to fully dry before using the printing plate.
