Piccolo 4 Ways

Did you know that the elements from our Piccolo Card Decor sets can be used on layouts, altered art, and more? Designer Jennifer Priest created a 4 project set featuring elements from our Piccolo Card Decor Set #6:

 This set along with the entire Piccolo Card Decor series our Enamel Powders are available on our website now. 

The delicate Card Decor elements look gorgeous when coated with our enamel powders, giving them a metal-like finish. Coat them with enamel and then place them back into the ATC style cards that are part of the some of the Decor Sets, like Jennifer did on the card above.

 This canvas shows the detailed filigree style chipboard elements from the Card Decor sets and how they are easily treated with enamel powder to create a metallic effect. Piccolo Card Decor can also be painted, heat embossed, dyed with spray ink, and more!

Create a pool of our Enamel Adhesive on a Piccolo ATC from one of the Decor Sets and then heat several colors of Enamel Powders for a thick, lava-like finish, like the finish on this ATC:

Finally, use the mounting the Piccolo come packaged in for frames on layouts and scrapbook pages:

Piccolo Card Decor by Charlotte Jenkins

Designer Charlotte Jenkins recently created some Moroccan inspired projects using our Piccolo Car DecorSets and our Enamel Powders:

These cards features our NEW Piccolo Card Decor Set #9:

Charlotte created all 4 projects using elements from this one Card Decor Set:

Designer's Note: "I love the enamel powders.  I love the texture of the enamel powder. After the powder is heated the finish takes pigment ink and dye ink beautifully. I love the Flash Heating ability".

No matter the theme or color scheme, Piccolo Card Decor can be customized with our enamel powders or your choice of paints, embossing powder, ink, spray ink, and more!
