 YAY! Hope you enjoy making dots. Practice makes perfect so practice a bit before you start and it's worth always popping a few dots out on scrap paper first too, just to get the bottle going well

Ooh you trendy person you, always following the newest thing lol, you're a hoot JaneB - as you well know, I'm about as far from trendy as one can get, lol.
I have a small row of dots drying on wax paper...not sure I'm brave enough to put straight on a layout just yet. I think I see more colours in my future kiwigirl - you're an expensive influence, lol |

If you want to run any colours by me before you buy then feel free, I have almost every colour and some of them are really misrepresented online, I know for sure Party Pink looks fabulous online and it's really not worth buying IRL! |

I recently bought a few bottles for the first time, and I have a question.
While practicing, if I use a non stick teflon mat to practice on, what glue works well to adhere the dried Nuvo drops to a project? Some of them turn out decent, but getting consistent sizes is something I have yet to master. I'd like to be able to use my practice efforts after they've dried, but I feel clueless what glue is best for that.
Any suggestions?

I am not really sure scrapnnana as I always just dot straight on my LOs (I'm lazy like that  ). I did once do some doodling with a white pen and then out dots on that and they all fell off! So I stuck them back on with Glossy Accents and that worked. I haven't checked again cause that LO is in an album (praise the lord, this doesn't happen much around here, like I said, I'm lazy!). But I would use Glossy Accents or the Matt version to stick them on with, I don't have much else, Glossy Accents does everything for me! |

Linda, out of the first set, (ripened pumpkin, carnation pink, crushed grape, oyster grey, dark walnut) I don't have dark walnut so I've never used that one. I have oyster grey but I don't think I've ever used it. The other 3 I use a bit, Carnation Pink is one of my favourites and I use it all the time. The orange is the only orange they do but it's perfect and seems to always go when you need orange! The second lot, [rhubarb crumble, bottle green, copper penny, pale gold, morning dew] I have them all. I very rarely use Copper and I don't think I've ever used Pale Gold as it's not gold at all, I think it's more a kacky baby poo colour? I don't use Bottle Green much either. Rhubarb is another of my favourites, a nice deep pink, it's lush! And Morning Dew is clear so you can put it on top of stuff to give a glossy finish. I don't tend to use it much as I tend to reach for Glossy Accents to do that, it's easier to use for me. I can actually see you using both sets though. They seem kinda pricey though, I wonder if anyone has any cheaper stores? It's late and dark here but tomorrow morning I can do you a selection of the dots on black and white and post photos, then you can see what they're like It's not late, I don't know what I'm saying. Seriously, it's 9.15pm, I used to not even be starting my night at this time, I'd be pre-loading at home before staggering off into town. But now I'm old and I'm off to bed hahaha! What happened to me?

When I make mine I do them on a silicone mat to dry. I find Ranger Collage Medium is great for sticking them down, or even a Sakura Quickie Glue pen dotted in place a few times  lol, you're a hoot JaneB - as you well know, I'm about as far from trendy as one can get, lol.
I know, I'm glad you got my little joke |

You know, I don't think I've got any pink? I'll have to check.
I'm with you, it is late. I've been up since 6am and I'm about to have the hot chocolate and 15,000 pills before bedtime |

linda, welcome to Nuvo, aka my newest addiction. ( As usual I’m late to the trend party as well). I didn’t buy them bundled on Amazon since I didn’t like all the colors in the sets. Most of the individual bottles are definitely overpriced there. I ended up buying some on Scrapbook.com and then a bunch at Joann’s when they had a sale.

Here you go Linda. Turns out I don't actually have pale gold either! It's the bright gold that I think is a baby poo colour! So this is, pumpkin, carnation, grape and oyster and then rhubarb, bottle, copper & morning dew (which looks blue on the black because it's wet, it dries completely clear). My bottles weren't working too well this morning either, I didn't shake or do tests so they're a bit wonky (I'm looking at you bottle green!)  |

I know you did this for Linda but thank you for the close-up I'm rather fancying them all, but especially the rhubarb and bottle green for a DD album idea I'm toying with... I ought to check exactly what 4 or 5 bottles I have; I know one is Morning Dew... I think...  |

I've ever used Pale Gold as it's not gold at all, I think it's more a kacky baby poo colour I so wanted this one as soon as I read the description. It's the bright gold that I think is a baby poo colour! so glad you clarified, I might have bought the wrong one.  Cracked me up. Linda, enjoy your Nuvo Drops. |

linda - guess what you have? You have a new addiction!  I have the walnut brown as I bought that same set off Amazon and it's a nice deep rich brown. I really like it! But oyster grey wasn't in it, it had sugared almond instead, which I doubt I will ever use. I think it looks like a weird orange sherbert color. Midnight and navy on are my list next!

I just watched a Jennifer McGuire video where she made little hearts from the drops. Now I have another use to go with the ones Kiwigirl posted. I think I’ll use this as an excuse to buy the red and pink colors. Gotta have those to make hearts, right?

how do you like something? On the Tapatalk app, there's a "Like" option below each post. On my PC, there's a thumbs up icon at the upper right of each post. I'm not sure if there are other ways to access the board, but someone will chime in. |
