Techniques to try with Paper Glaze: Mixing colors to create unique shades; Adding ink before applying glaze to change hues; Dropping alcohol ink on top of dried Paper Glaze; Blending dye ink or watercolor over dried Paper Glaze; Adding to glitter cardstock.
This week’s challenge at Shopping our stash is “Washi, Washi, Washi! While I don’t have a stash quite like Lauren’s, I was able to pull together a nice collection for this nature inspired, fall hued card. While Washi tape is the focal point here, I couldn’t resist a bit of stamping. I used The Concord and 9th set-Just Because and added a tree ring stamp from the Honey Bee stamp set – Hello Gorgeous! Inks used are Archival ink (potting soil, of course) and Wendy Vecchi blendable dye inks -stamped and watercolored. (orange blossom, sunflower, acorn and fern green). Be proud of me – I’ve kept that cactus alive for almost a month now!
What a fun (and exhausting) time! Thank you to everyone that stopped by our booth, we had a blast seeing old friends and making new ones! For those that couldn’t make the show, I Wanted to share our Make and Takes from Friday and Saturday. We have a few left of each project, so if you want to make one (or both) of the cards stop by the store and I will be glad to set you up!
