Resist techniques at Get It Scrapped

My latest media tutorial is up at Get It Scrapped.  This month I was continuing to work with Faber-Castell’s Papercrafter Crayons this time experimenting with resist techniques.  Take a peek and see if there is a technique there that you would like to add to your bag of tricks.

Read all the details HERE

With all these tutorials and the end of the school year looming I am not doing very well with the page a day challenge going on at Get It Scrapped but I am hoping to get a little more in this upcoming week!

Happy Wednesday!

RubberMoon and Copic Background

Hello RubberMoon fans!  Welcome to my blog!  As promised I have a second tutorial using Gretchen Ehrsam’s  Striped Cat  I created another card but this time wanted a completely different look to show you the versatility of one stamp and a fun different technique with Copic Various Inks (the refills).  The supplies I used are:

Striped Cat stamp by Gretchen Ehrsam, a white Sharpie paint pen, Copic Various ink in V04, V17 and RV66, a 2″ Art Square, and StazOn opaque white ink.

Step #1 – Drip Copic Ink directly onto the art square.  The colors will bleed quite a bit so you will only need 3 or 4 drops of 3 colors.

Step #2 – After the ink is completely dry, use StazOn opaque white ink to stamp your image onto your square.

Step #3 – Use an opaque white pen to add doodles onto your square, my FAVORITE white marker is a Sharpie poster paint pen.

RMb5

Step #4 – Add your square onto your card base, I used a wine colored card stock and white Swiss Dot Cardstock from Bazzill and a small piece of Kraft card stock, I added pearls and more doodling with my Sharpie.

Thank you so much for stopping by today to take a peek at my RubberMoon creation.  Make sure to stop by the RubberMoon blog as well if you have not had a chance to this week!  Nancy posted an amazing inky tutorial there Monday!

Happy Wednesday!

Papercrafter Crayons

Have you seen Faber Castell’s Papercrafter Crayons?  They are a newer product and have not made a huge splash, but I have to tell you these things do some cool effects.  This month at Get It Scrapped I explored how to use them with heat and different melting techniques.  You can check out all the how to’s HERE

Here is a close up of one of the effects I played with:

It just gives you one more option for adding hand colored effects onto your layouts, cards and more.
