You can use so many different products to add
color to your project from acrylic paint, alcohol inks, and markers. Typically I use Sharpie Markers with my
students, again because they are readily available and fairly inexpensive and
my student have access to them at home, however I have used my Copic Markers
and my Faber Castel Markers on them.
Alcohol inks work really well and you can paint them onto the piece,
I’ve also used acrylic paints to add an aged look similar to antiquing
but because acrylic paint is fairly opaque you lose the metallic look, I prefer
something that will go on transparent to allow the metal to show. Deco Art used to have a metal paint that
worked well and I’m sure that enamel paint will also work however again you
have an opaque look. Just my bias and
you will have to decide for yourselves what you prefer.
Another fun way to add color to your tin piece is
to use embossing powders just like you would if you were rubber stamping.
And then of course heat with your heat tool for embossing, giving you an enamel look to your tin piece.
