Start adding double sided adhesive to a stencil and sprinkle on several colors of Mica D'Lights. The more you layer, the brighter the color will look. The colors will act like a watercolor, especially when you rub your hands on the surface. This is a simple way to blend the colors and create a unqiue look. Peel off the adhesive and, if you want, add a deeper color of Mica D'Lights to add depth. Use a brush to get rid of the excess and save whatever is left for another project. Apply the adhesive to a piece of carstock for a pretty card or scrapbook page.
