• Creamy structure to the medium
• Water-based
• Highly pigmented mica powder
• Waterproof after drying

You can mix mousses with water to change the structure of the mousse and add colour to them.

There are four main tools for applying Mousses on a different surfaces :

• Metal pallet knife
• Nuvo - Dual Ended Blender Brush - 2 Pack – 984n
• Nuvo - Media Spatulas - 2 Pack – 977n
• Nuvo - Brushes - Blending Sponges (4 Pack) – 975n

You can use stencils with these too.

Dual Brushes

The brushes comes in a pack of two and are perfect for blending different colours of mousses. With a dual brush you can apply a thin layer of a mousse and change the colour of the surface without adding a texture or adding brush strokes.

On the left example, I applied pink mousse on the entire card panel and on the right I applied mousses to the centre of the card panel to create a focal point with pink mousse.

Metal Pallet Knife

A metal spatula is perfect for applying large amounts of mousse or covering big surfaces. It's a great tool for applying moussed through the wide stencils and with a fine round tip you can pick up small amounts of mousse too.

Blending Sponges

Blending sponges comes in a pack of 4 and are soft and washable. With these, you can create a fun gradients, colourful spots and focal points.

I created this clean and simple birthday card with the card panel I showed earlier. I cut out a sentiment from white cardstock and coloured it with Nuvo markers.

Stamp a flower with black ink in the centre of a white card panel. Create a mask for the image. Stamp a flower on a sticky paper you may use for memos. Cut the image leaving an outline and stick on the card panel.

Create a colourful gradient with Nuvo mousses.

Using dual brushes apply a dark green first onto the card panel

Using the dual brush, apply more of the medium in lighter green colours, then applying a gold colour on the bottom. Go back and forth with a brush to blend the colours on the card panel.

Remove the mask and add sentiment and sequins.

Apply a small amount of Nuvo mousse on the acrylic block or glass mat. Spray a little water and mix the mousse with a spatula to get a creamy texture.

Dip your stamp into mouse once, and stamp onto white card panel.

Tip. This techique works better with a simple outline stamps.

Tip. You can use as many colour combination of mousses you wish to create bright eclectic, designs, or you can use only one colour for a monochromatic panel. Whatever your choice of colour the mousse will dry with a beautiful shine.

Pick up a small amount of Red Nuvo mousse with a tip of a metal spatula. Apply mousse to the black card panel. This will be the first petal of the flower

Apply three more petals to the design in the same way. Try to overlap each petal and lightly press the spatula.

With green Nuvo Mousse apply details under the petals.

Using a paintbrush draw stems for the each flower

Cut out a sentiment from a white glitter cardstock and add black Nuvo Drops.
