Background Technique with Re-inkers and Alcohol

Hello Dear Friends:

This card was published at the Spanish blog: "A crear se dijo!"...for "Memory Box"...
The technique that I used is a fun and very pretty one...

It is made with "specialty stamping" paper from "Ranger", some re-inkers and plain rubbing alcohol...to give this "marbled" effect!

The background, as I said, was created using "specialty stamping paper" from "Ranger", some re-inkers from "Wendi Vecchi" line of archival inks... and alcohol...

technique step by step:
Step one: place some drops of ink "Archival" with some alcohol on a craft sheet...mix with a spatula/painting knife

step 2:
place the "specialty stamping paper" (important to use this paper for the technique)
on top of mix and "grab" some color...

step 3:
dry heat with a heat gun
repeat process until you like what you see...

here are some samples using different combinations of colors of re-inkers...

and here it is how I store my re-inkers; on plastic food containers...

Detail of the "marbled" background....

All framed with the scalloped stitched frame from Memory Box ...on linen cardstock.

I hope you like the technique!

until next time!

Little marine Tags...

Hello my dear crafty friends:

I am back with some simple, fun and easy projects to make...some little "marine" tags...
all made with "Memory Box" dies and for the tag base made with "Elisabeth Craft Designs" die tags.

This first one uses the "shorebirds" die from Memory Box

 with some "seaweeds"

this one uses the "Seagulls" die and the waves were taken from the "lighthouse"

and the last ones featuring the "ocean lighthouse"..
with a snowy background and an ombré technique
(I used the splatter tool from "Ranger" with some white acrylic paint over an ombré background made with 3 shades of distress inks of blue)

 detail, of the "splatter"

and a sun red one

the rock is from the clouds' die

Ok my friends, hope all is well with you 

and until next time 

I wish you a very creative and crafty day...

Hugs

2 Ways Stenciled Fall Cards

Hello Dear Friends:

I used the same stencil to make these 2 cards...
using it in 2 different ways...

The first technique used in this card is to use your stencils as if it was a stamp...

1-  ink the stencil as you do for a stamp

2- spray some water on top ( to add more texture)

 3- "stamp" the stencil on top of the paper;

4- then sponge some more color on the edges and center...
here it is the result;

using the exact same stencil I made this second card...
in here I used the stencil as "normal", sponging some ink colors with a dauber through the stencil...

what a difference right?

In this 3rd card I used the stencil as "normal" too...
Sponging through the holes...

 final result

Ok my friends...remember to use your stencils for backgrounds or for main focal images using these 2 techniques...

Thanks for the visit...
