It was a stamping block that when heated, could be pressed onto a surface which left an impression in the block which could then be inked up and stamped onto paper or cardstock. Simon Hurley has re-released this product so a new group of crafters have been exposed to this magic find. You can press the heated foam into so many things to create a pattern to be stamped and in this class, I used only stencils to create my impressions. Embossing folders also work really well as does lace, a pile of rubber bands, mesh from a produce bag, a small pocket section on a child's pair of jeans, virtually anything that will give texture will work.<br /><br />"Do what you love"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7K0xBT-IrdLc59jC543o4V4Pn1cIX20du85aoLQbyHEMyn4pfRTlT5WLC9eYYWkT2GAGZqLHLGsrNzfX8JLLF0EN9x2E1qpZQjE_LqRZAnorw2lzH3sxQ1CcMKmGJXMCisSUx6bsUGiWYFvwck3xSAVjw_Y_y6jsrjbWs8VJSLgXwCL4lw4q4HYQX/s1280/Do%20what%20you%20love.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

You don't necessarily need to have a person with wings, it can be anything that mimics a body shape (or not!). You can even cut off the wings from an existing insect or bug cutting die and use the wings from another source to go on the body. I have included in the sample images below, an ATC I started to make that used a rib cage for the body and some black wings that were painted with shimmer paint to go either side of the image. A die-cut heart shape or stamped also works well with wings. Leaf shapes also make wonderful wings and work well with any botanical-style imagery.<br /><br />"Make things happen"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZGfDDF8zZcPd1jHIYy7Io-Eqn3sJyhz8AjzZnwcwEQLgAcuV8WWaBnibhrkQPM1efCMeSjr_qDDOv82g6C_a6UbQdncCGl35jOuCuWsIIZnJXFBbaPlk583K6Ijm2BpnGoIv0-yuX7XXajAMX0zNjweuVmF1cwVU27rLhlOqXUoB2wK_RRpnWFvhI/s1280/Make%20things%20happen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The card/paper to be sanded must have a different colour core so you can then re-colour it to make the high points stand out. Your choise of embossing folder also matters as one that has lots of open areas doesn't show off this technique to its best advantage. I prefer to use the 3D embossing folders for this technique. I used a combination of the following, mirror card (white core), watercolour paper that had been watercoloured previously (white core), and black-coated Kraft card (Kraft core). You can also use various ways of adding colour, Distress Ink Pads, Oxide Distress Ink Pads and on coated paper (mirror card), you can use black paint but that needs to be treated a little differently as you don't want the black paint to dry before wiping it off. The idea of the black paint is you want it in the crevices, not over the whole thing. <br /><br />"Just one life"<br />(This is gold mirror card, sanded and painted<br />with black paint that is wiped off moments<br />after painting it on.)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBzQXWkNW3JagL8oVKZtgOsV_Vz9d1a0A0oOC1wo-P-8pwVNHJAjxvPu2QmgLn1gIyjJHLqL4P9h7wOn3Dom2HKOiu76078W9sfj5lyNsny7tbm59lHGwXiDyVtrBINglhY0CjzKjYts4JYyIe2OTmrxJ0zyWcdi0s0lkZlZ7UGZp49iz1s2iCuVe2/s1280/Just%20one%20life.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A description I found on Google says it is described as a technique that comprises drawing freeform lines or 'neuro lines'. These are meant to enable the connection between the conscious and unconscious, gaining access to the inner self by using a specific algorithm or method. I found it extremely addictive and very meditative as you aren't consciously thinking about what you're doing, you are just doing it. You can add colour, or not, doodle within the shapes, or not, add extra lines, ribbons, circles, dots, whatever you choose to do. I used a combination of watercolour paints, watercolour pencils and Pilot G-Tec C4 coloured gel pens to add the colours. The lines were done with Pentel DX 0.28 and Sharpie Super-fine black marker.<br /><br />This is my cover for Technique Book #31.<br />The size is 20cm x 15cm (8" x 6") so is a fair<br />bit larger than the atc's that follow.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7uyWTlT45e2aRWDdVmyxHv3ZaDW8-eqle2MYNjWkf30n-dpvCKotprFCLbd-7b3swXCfL5bVMLem5TtfNAIHqidVPJmF-4ROcOi6EuoLIyVHj6HiQ8UZgcB8TvewGp9ORq-wCapiCF0OSbV1n_sFSHqZ5mczMXsR6lhnjAMyToGA9oJbN_WSCZ3To/s1280/Technique%20Book%20Cover%20%2331.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Years ago we used drywall tape, both the fibreglass one that has lots of little squares and also the paper adhesive type that has circles. I still have a roll of the paper circle style so thought I'd revisit it for the girls who've not used it before. It can be used as a stencil, just plain as it is or even embossed over. It's a bonus that it has an adhesive backing on it so it makes it really easy to stick down no matter what you decide to do with it. I do recommend de-tacking it on your clothing if you are going to stencil with it though so you can lift it off when you have finished adding your colouring to it. A great little accent for your background.</p></blockquote><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Mood poisoning"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I chose to make one as it's a simple process and there are lots of YouTube videos available showing how to create your own. Card fronts are much bigger than ATCs so it can be a little challenging to get your wreath to fit onto the rectangular shape of an atc but it can be done, as shown by my samples below. The good thing is the same size template will also work for cards a it's all about the placement of the stamp on the door of the stamp positioner as to how small your wreath can be. Wreath stamping does not have to be leaves or flowers as is usually used. My samples show that you can use whatever small-sized stamps that you choose to. Yes, I chose bats, skulls and spiders for some of mine. I hope you give it a try, it's such a great technique!<br /><br />"Excuse me"<br />(The black border around the edge of this atc is<br />created using the Distress Oxide re-inker from<br />my Bleeding Borders class. The gold accent<br />colour around the edge and on the bat is Golden<br />Hour Solar Paste swiped onto black. Such a<br />great effect!)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0AGvTog3ziITaJifGIJCuFXMMdgmNfTAWZlmbcrjiJNCQRDqQLmfGYDjq4rMRlkhOFygwGtUa0X7SYe92WueZ9JZhjAKowawJrpdcGV5GRo8mvoa4w6xVXKQeIeHlUjL-6u1IZfbMqMywrdmwuSTASvstL3Pu_FkbZwRKddgGiKJNWej3YglejLbs/s1278/Excuse%20me.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1278" data-original-width="992" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0AGvTog3ziITaJifGIJCuFXMMdgmNfTAWZlmbcrjiJNCQRDqQLmfGYDjq4rMRlkhOFygwGtUa0X7SYe92WueZ9JZhjAKowawJrpdcGV5GRo8mvoa4w6xVXKQeIeHlUjL-6u1IZfbMqMywrdmwuSTASvstL3Pu_FkbZwRKddgGiKJNWej3YglejLbs/w310-h400/Excuse%20me.jpg" width="310" /></a><br /><br />"Fly away"<br />(You can see you don't need to colour in the<br />background of the atc at all with this<br />technique.

But did you know you can use your stencils to get a dry embossed look to your plain cardstock? The cheaper, thicker type of stencil works particularly well for this technique and you can buy a rubber embossing mat that is specially made for this purpose. I have a couple of rubber embossing mats but one of them was old and brittle so I was going to purchase another one, however I found that the silicone pet feeding or training mat from Kmart here in Australia was a perfect substitute. In fact, it's slightly thicker than the embossing mat so it works well. Two caveats, never run your embossing sandwich through twice, that is backwards and forwards, as the rubber stretches and you'll end up with a double impression and secondly, don't force the sandwich through your machine. You may need to shim to get just the right combination of cutting pads, rubber/silicone mat, stencil, platform. If it goes through too easily, you won't get a good impression on your card. I used Bristol Smooth for the card as it is reasonably heavyweight and the blending of the Oxide Ink pads on this card works beautifully. <br /><br />"Keep moving forward"<br />(I used a Uni-Ball Signo DX 0.28 black gel<br />pen to draw around the edges of this stencil<br />after adding the colour to make the petals<br />stand out.)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUD9JclW8BsYNvJYCemJFoxiE58WLrG_zbEUF0prF9I4GRlU78xwp8KSR4iTLQon9qHRqMWRLXNq_3TZ1Lyn6opzA0W5Poppqown81sN4jQpnaMB2zkGnGsB_dxM1vyvhVDXgCPGPOI0VtPG_I9UI8cAyHFo2n5anVPrHXUKOUW-d48cDCA-sfEIwH/s1280/Keep%20moving%20forward.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I had previously tried flicking Distress Spray Stains and Oxide Sprays onto a gel plate after inking but found that using just water instead of the sprays worked so much better. My choice of ink pad was Distress Oxide ink pads and you need very little water to get this effect.<br />If you want to see more detail in these pics, click on the first one and scroll through as I've taken the photos in fairly high resolution. Even though these are small, the little details on atc's matter. <br /><br />"Best day ever"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXL34LYLmgKLYLQ2UAXYIWdZjynrSu11J88YF18WDONe8Ar846AkKHGd2KI-HNu8Upzi9t3k5TmsbNX-ZETlPkrvMYlqixnotd9QjB14KbltYdRjNDpOxQwrSvF66T7nbL61mZhKZksnZP9Ej7SQlVYSMK56ebbaacmTjijiThOVmd9KW1-wV328mP/s1278/Best%20day%20ever.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1278" data-original-width="938" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXL34LYLmgKLYLQ2UAXYIWdZjynrSu11J88YF18WDONe8Ar846AkKHGd2KI-HNu8Upzi9t3k5TmsbNX-ZETlPkrvMYlqixnotd9QjB14KbltYdRjNDpOxQwrSvF66T7nbL61mZhKZksnZP9Ej7SQlVYSMK56ebbaacmTjijiThOVmd9KW1-wV328mP/w294-h400/Best%20day%20ever.JPG" width="294" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This shows the size of the print that is made<br />before cutting it down for an atc.

I personally have a few Lunar Pastes but have also seen others making their own shimmer pastes by using a gloss heavy body gel medium and adding mica powder for that extra shimmer. You can also add a tiny amount of Distress Re-inker to colour your gel medium and then add the mica powder for the shine. You need to use gloss gel medium as this will allow the mica powder to shine. If you use matte gel medium, you can still colour this with the distress re-inkers but I wouldn't use the mica powders as the matte gel medium won't allow the mica to shimmer. For this same reason, I wouldn't use Distress Oxide re-inkers with the gloss gel medium as they have a more matte appearance than the straight Distress re-inkers. There are so many videos around of how you can use the pastes and if you make your own, you only need to mix up as much as you need for your one specific project. I have a great set of 24 different colours of mica powder so that gives me many different options to choose from.<br />Note: A couple of my samples have also been made by mixing glass bead gel (gloss gel medium mixed with clear reflective glass beads) with the mica powder. Another great combination of products!<br /><br />"Focus"<br />(The sunflower was stencilled using black and <br />gold DIY shimmer pastes. A little orange mica<br />spray was splattered over when dry. The<br />dragonfly is from the transparent wings set<br />from Idea-ology, Tim Holtz.)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2WaWealuUfgIt_1onAsa7dtQWyytI7EVl46ctJMGxXquiPZPNuBd9Ikxq5mXuTpwJ-15b5WWMbOqxv6lJ5rYvNRfrEigq-CXMAPt_C9ewinrvgaC3edOWFK2v-mYRLfySBMoPWNhV2ftEFn3NF3c5pD4h30ul7L3eIVnHTJH57IKxJZL45zYD_iBq/s1278/Focus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

For atc's, the tags that are just over an inch in width are a great size to add your words or short quotes to, and they give the atc a little extra 3D embellishment. Of course, they will work the same way on cards and have been used many times in junk journals as well. I have included a picture of some of the tags as well. Having 2 sides gives you the option of decorating both.<br />Metallic thread, embroidery thread or coloured seam binding are threaded through the holes and I used my mini stapler (Tiny Attacher) to attach them to my atc's.<br /><br />"Overthink"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsn4WNyTwM7aasx05IQ7tijAqEJ1k50YZNCWGmh52DNsnoh2k3jdi-JtDIRt6aSr58MBjIGOl_COkx8QA-5MvA_-J-RjjoecTCQhYmYdIVUdbT6lxg5LDd6p_5jy0sDgeSuIRjvFICp0WB1wk288oiHQsnUpfkweR0Xmo7NeNhcLFUzEsL6OgLJXO9/s1280/Overthink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

For the colouring, I used Paul Ruben watercolours, the black fine line drawing on some of these samples was a combination of a Uni-Ball Signo DX 0.28 extra fine gel pen and a Pilot G-Tec-C4 black gel pen. The Pilot G-Tec-C4 bleeds when wet so you get a smudged effect when drawn through wet watercolour. I also used my <a href="https://lisilinka.com/" target="_blank">Lisilinka Watercolour Paints</a>, which are so wonderfully sparkly and my new set of Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic Gel Pens which are also full of sparkle, much more than any other glitter gel pen I've used. <br />The technique to do these flowers can be found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgylgEDTCqk&t=582s" target="_blank">here</a> on Youtube, by the very talented Maremi Simplecraft.<br /><br />"Be-leaf"<br />(The background was created with a flat brush<br />while the leaves were done with a #4 round brush.)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2EJ_NgWtByW9PG_SL2aGCOiF9J1MsVGONfg3bA6VzWBjg_36f_9NtWWPdSUlWLlGvL5q9isredDH6Q4l4E7RDmLLsyiy7yATjVs2Zvr2MsVyfYa4hWzplZR1LjzR1sexI43F5Iwz0tw6ssnjIrLksxIaTL88-fI3FfoMHYLrXj0vKT2xAWbMMje2r/s1280/Be-leaf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I have used a couple of film strip dies that I've had for a while and a film strip made from acetate coloured with alcohol inks, then the edges have been given the typical edges using my Cinch Book Binding Machine. The beauty of using the Cinch Machine and acetate is you can make these strips as wide as you like, remembering to keep the scale of your piece in relation to the square holes that are punched along the edges. Alcohol inks make it easy to add your colouring to the acetate and if you make it too dark, a little isopropyl alcohol will remove some of the colour. </p><p style="text-align: center;">"A mirror with a memory"<br />(Acetate/alcohol ink overlay)</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitoTQfDbWaefI7_M9iIisKJnNnSl930X8-9yYHa0SDpq-VvPw00ZRn3ZBYVXQ8LIrI3NjpILM9v-cBu1dord5KGcW53T5PjpZbTxN4ZEqxghEok30MmbRM_e2rVjdJMDI9n0s88w2guhir00g1n_PWgdBaiG8sV7XWHCwnZXetDJNSK0ilQlRxW8x5/s1278/Mirror%20with%20a%20memory.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I had some Golden Fluid Acrylic paint and decided to decant some into my tiny 10ml needle-nose bottles to see how it worked. It was wonderful! I have since decanted black fluid acrylic paint as well and the bonus is I haven't had an issue with the tips clogging at all. I have since decanted some of the Liquitex Basics black and white fluid acrylics as well but as these were a matte finish, I added about 30% gloss fluid medium to give it a shine. But if you like the matte look, you could go without doing this step. I store my bottles upright and always test first on a scrap of paper to make sure it is coming out the nozzle ok, but so far, so good. The beauty of these little bottles and the fluid acrylic is the needle-nose tip is so very small and you can do a tiny dot or line very easily that I can't see you getting from any other method. The slower you go, the thicker and wider the line. You just need to have the patience to let it dry and not try to speed it up by drying it with a heat gun.<br /><br />"Life is better"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVdZndQJR92RdwbkTx57YHIz8uwaLHbsOujgkUMHm_pvQslq5bX7Xp3VRtvNscvMZ1WTq6Db8PsihiP8cxf7qRadDWv2OM0Zg5ufLoIW-ofMfWZeEpYv0W-VCu-DPohmqvHk4ywnp2YCecFMLD5K_687s9EMQsnqipJ_2oC4kL4Ve6C2abVNIhgAk/s1276/Life%20is%20better.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Because the paint is applied so thinly, it dries almost instantly so you can keep creating them and stacking one on top of the other. I have used a white 200gsm(ish) card as my substrate and used a variety of paints - Born brand from Officeworks, Jo Sonja, Amsterdam paints (their metallics are gorgeous!) and even colour shift paints. Because this technique is done on plain cardstock, you can even emboss on them as the heat doesn't affect plain cardstock like it does with synthetic or photo paper. This would have to be my favourite go-to background which always looks impressive.<br /><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Pollen"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6pzPXqq1Id8CyuzK7yB8RGj7c12ML7SXH8r_z2Z-EBdtxUMCs00bB1QMgd0ipiB3g2LQOl5GgANmhcrJ0z_8MS6robED8v3VOEj9cU7sy3UMT9bxV2OF6IPpG6DgwM_oo4ga2cWkwkWl6Eu0CyJtwFWM1OA_Vk13vYn8sb1DDjWcpw0WfbNKD9y5F/s1274/Pollen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It's been a few years since I've used them in a class so to keep it interesting, I came up with a different background technique to use with the wobblers. I started with a base of Distress Oxide Inks either smooshed or blended onto the background, then embossed a stamped image, then used metallic waxes swiped randomly over the embossing to alter the colours. I found the chunky embossing powders worked the best as they have more of a textural look to them. You can make your own action wobblers as they can be expensive to buy and there are lots of instructions and videos of how to do that if you google it. The advantage of doing them yourself is you can control how high to make the wobbler but the pre-made ones are certainly quicker to apply, simply peel off the sticky bits on both sides and apply it.</p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">"Listen to your heart"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

However, if you use the Oxide Inks or Sprays on the shiny side of photo paper, the emulsion coating the photo paper grips onto the Oxide Inks and Sprays and leaves beautifully bright colours when the ink is washed off the photo paper. I have tried this technique with the regular Distress Inks and Sprays and while it works to some extent, the hybrid combination of the pigment and dye ink in the Oxide Inks and Sprays just works so much better.

margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: center;"> I have used Yasutomo Mineral Paper before with alcohol inks so I was aware of this different substrate for alcohol inks. So when I saw a 2-pack of A5 sized, unlined Stone Paper for $7 in my local Kmart, I had an inkling of what it was. It works exactly the same as the mineral paper and is such a bargain, 80 sheets for $3.50 (2-pack for $7.00). These samples were created with Ranger alcohol ink as a wash of colour over the stone paper which has a much more matte finish to it than Yupo does. The key is lots of isopropyl alcohol to give the "wash" look, rather than the other usual methods of applying alcohol ink.

Antique Linen Distress Ink pad was my choice for the initial stamping as it seems to be light enough to not be as obvious as a darker black or grey outline like normal stamping. I don't know what it is about no line watercolouring but it just seems to take way longer to watercolour these images than it does a normal stamped image when you use a darker outline stamping colour. You can use whatever colouring medium you like and in my samples below I used Distress Ink pads, Paul Ruben fluorescent watercolours and my Daniel Smith watercolours, though I know that Gansai Tambi or any other watercolour will work equally as well. The only thing I wouldn't use as a colouring medium is metallic watercolours. They'd be ok as an accent or highlight but not as a complete colouring medium. <br /><br />"Choose something fun"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15LjwC7Ur3UeZ7V0tcSzkmZu5oZdYy8gaE0Sl-1YyptgZSHiVMZvDOQ3nOX1MGm-xQk1zQXkURMtftRmDlB0leKAOHyLByBZ1dH4VeKYF6A6JzPcxtfnhBm7Xb1AFF9bZqKjsqFEbTL6eL472bcJTrJsImIaW5bUW_Y0LAJGYjSFfOPXCv47uCg/s1278/Choose%20something%20fun.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It creates amazing texture on a background but it can also be used in a thin layer over an image to give a frosted effect. You can colour it with acrylic paint before applying it, or you can paint over it after it has dried. To keep the translucency, your paint should have no fillers in them or you will lose the shine from the glass beads as they are suspended in a gloss gel medium. </p><p style="text-align: center;">You can make your own glass bead gel as buying it pre-made is quite pricey. Simply mix gloss gel medium with a small size of glass beads and you have glass bead gel. The glass beads are the same ones used in line road-marking as when the headlights of vehicles hit them, they reflect the light back. So when you use glass bead gel on a silver or gold metallic background, they really stand out, as seen in my first sample below. That particular background was Ranger Foundry Wax in gold and silver smeared on a plain black piece of card but the addition of the glass bead gel on top takes it to another level entirely. This product is one that really needs to be seen in the flesh to appreciate it. <br /><br />"In the dark"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhE3eok5vx_7BZMnjGx-bWNwMv414DH912wkWVVYKuOcFHdTSLC9tUeeiy2VWDL4n1wqsMs8N80UPK4ANLA-8cNFJ4m77hiDdl-K27tELHeVZbqCw7Jfa1R2z5goNVJvB6WQnfDnJQwsJwaKCRal6mmGvsRsqmahd7Ds3LHC5A75dETGFx3TpsxA/s1276/In%20the%20dark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The only thing putting me off was knowing that my Gelli plate was going to end up with a yellowish tinge to it as certain colours of alcohol inks end up staining the Gelli plate. It certainly doesn't affect the use of it in any way, it will only make the colours that you put down not seem quite right compared to using a normal white Gelli plate. But then I figured, why have a Gelli plate if I only want to keep it pristine (not a good thing in the Gelli plate world anyway!). So I went ahead and had a play with my Ranger alcohol inks, a couple of brayers and some acrylic paints. I used 2 brayers, one I kept for the alcohol inks and the other for the acrylic paint. I must say, to do some of the print pulls, I used my Iridescent Medium paint and it was spectacular! It just adds a little shimmer to the background without making it look too shiny like gold or silver acrylic paints do. I started out by just brayering some alcohol inks on, letting them dry, then using acrylic paint for the pull, and then decided to start to use some stencils as well for extra texture. I love how both of the styles of background turned out. <br /><br />"Worthwhile"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguX55OUNv8e6V6gPIKWBG-ZWsB67WdWFlNw3S2smzYLvARfeqRUYqVl6-0CVhbnInxp5H4-T7vCppoavprvJexpO74QC5oQBs-nxalejpIlafsIYQ-OVN48zsN4WZWqvXle4u33quSbqxVVvl2oHWa1d0UFJO5-i7LlupoHiHYk2QWtyUBO13kLA/s1276/Worthwhile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;">This technique takes advantage of the open areas of an embossing folder by colouring those areas in black, thus leaving the embossed design as the focal point. It is particularly eye-catching if you use vibrant colours as your starting point, I used Distress re-inkers for the initial colouring on the watercolour paper (300gsm). I first saw this technique on Youtube (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyEbl95sArQ" target="_blank">Sandi MacIver</a>) but skipped the step of spritzing with a shimmer spray as I felt it wasn't really necessary when the addition of metallic waxes, metallic paints for splattering and even using metallic gel pens for details was enough "bling" on the small space on an atc. The most important part of this technique is the choice of embossing folder. I used 3D folders as they are much more raised and defined but you definitely need to have enough open areas to colour in black to make the whole design pop.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

For these samples, I used watercolours (Daniel Smith) but you could easily use Distress Re-inkers, Distress Sprays or any other type of liquid watercolour. The main thing is to not have anything too opaque as the translucency of the watercolours and the re-inkers and sprays I mentioned is that they are see-through enough for the little metallic dots that are already on this tissue paper to still show through in all their metallic glory. It's much easier to use a paintbrush to get the colours to move if they are already in a liquid state which is why I wouldn't use watercolour pencils, markers or anything that needs to be put on first and then activated with water as the tissue is still pretty delicate and you risk tearing it. Stick with a liquid to start with and it's easy to get wonderful backgrounds.<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Apothecary"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKpdi6J8e9RjN8-IFatrsuKwYoYmxwXApGZQ3-i7v3CTlc6yUM9BoH25HeZ5jfYp1eQyOOMfFOAVvlkLzjq4YCSR-tHWaDmRg64PCBNs8sWxxLRgfBcvY6I13nDJZE1WZv9LscYAigqVGTt9KU9g7KfPyq3vX14mcMc5K0Ic_s8uN8THvm3sAqEQ/s1276/Apothecary.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1276" data-original-width="940" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKpdi6J8e9RjN8-IFatrsuKwYoYmxwXApGZQ3-i7v3CTlc6yUM9BoH25HeZ5jfYp1eQyOOMfFOAVvlkLzjq4YCSR-tHWaDmRg64PCBNs8sWxxLRgfBcvY6I13nDJZE1WZv9LscYAigqVGTt9KU9g7KfPyq3vX14mcMc5K0Ic_s8uN8THvm3sAqEQ/w295-h400/Apothecary.jpg" width="295" /></a><br /><br />"I create my reality"</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcv5r2ZQ4YdHf57DAwUg3EIQZiUjKfAo5cc_lGPaDjbnfvH0UHqf9-aLUQgYZVWCa04oZi0QOV6DJjzCl99J4Ll9SAEGHDOzgMaEO4wvG4v_PzctfoJJUAr6t-lXwaTcjGXlJYM3mLL9tm-3nhFBxH3rx4boHWlEcYfkkJQyI4_uKufguI5GEepQ/s1278/My%20reality.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1278" data-original-width="949" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcv5r2ZQ4YdHf57DAwUg3EIQZiUjKfAo5cc_lGPaDjbnfvH0UHqf9-aLUQgYZVWCa04oZi0QOV6DJjzCl99J4Ll9SAEGHDOzgMaEO4wvG4v_PzctfoJJUAr6t-lXwaTcjGXlJYM3mLL9tm-3nhFBxH3rx4boHWlEcYfkkJQyI4_uKufguI5GEepQ/w298-h400/My%20reality.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><br />"What the flock?"<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiaxOElbpttictempuOgR-kBUw3ubUy3GHlXc__G3nYhm-4AhU4_FEyRSqdTBtseSQ5CC63FXz31I4PXM9OGWAmp_u_UY5MBE-WTydAwytdkuxub2N1Oy95_P0JR0LR9SKIs-eF5XNh93l66fiODvu54Y_ri5HoPG0cE2JibTQQqmLXmkq4KGI3A/s1278/What%20the%20flock.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1278" data-original-width="922" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiaxOElbpttictempuOgR-kBUw3ubUy3GHlXc__G3nYhm-4AhU4_FEyRSqdTBtseSQ5CC63FXz31I4PXM9OGWAmp_u_UY5MBE-WTydAwytdkuxub2N1Oy95_P0JR0LR9SKIs-eF5XNh93l66fiODvu54Y_ri5HoPG0cE2JibTQQqmLXmkq4KGI3A/w289-h400/What%20the%20flock.jpg" width="289" /></a><br /><br />"Not your job"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-SE3R-MNXjSFfuW2-sID7u_mxAXaxWrxYh_b4p-WvBDbCF3fV_K1oZzkfU3ZxYzqrEn7ZSGRVe5XStmN0RljlY5u24XkUtl0O6R6F7pb6Xcr5JX_bciOXGLonhznnNTwC4AC1CXzBqW6N7A6rT-gDC3C3rjhWqbHse6XZMHjJj3cPHA7kgvUNRg/s1276/Not%20your%20job.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1276" data-original-width="914" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-SE3R-MNXjSFfuW2-sID7u_mxAXaxWrxYh_b4p-WvBDbCF3fV_K1oZzkfU3ZxYzqrEn7ZSGRVe5XStmN0RljlY5u24XkUtl0O6R6F7pb6Xcr5JX_bciOXGLonhznnNTwC4AC1CXzBqW6N7A6rT-gDC3C3rjhWqbHse6XZMHjJj3cPHA7kgvUNRg/w286-h400/Not%20your%20job.jpg" width="286" /></a><br /><br />"AH!

It's wonderful stuff and creates amazing shapes, and changes colour, and you can burn holes in it when using a heat gun. For this class, I used a tea-light candle to melt and shape strips to make the flowers and smoke/flames. If you have some, dig it out and have a play. Don't put it directly in the flame though, aim it for the warm airflow directly above the flame, about 4 or so inches above the top of the flame. That'll be enough to heat it and distort it. It gets hot so maybe use tweezers to hold and shape the strips so you don't burn yourself. Ask me how I know! 🔥 <br />Don't forget, to view larger images, click on the first one, scroll through. They are a much better size and you can see more detail.<br /><br /><br />"Toxique"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgroiyb4xXCb4QlJKcilpaCa8CZUpxgkfg76-jyiQTLsU0hfkvFz1RY6xvHhvt-7Y3ymorZKBjFAHUF2SvMJHtRPC6qo4a8FCn6JavzOR5BFHw217XqCM74YCiCtDZXNpcSvQVtiC-bROJYiCbUBhTmk-qNtVWv5JsS3DfpaXCAPutFa3zQDed2Ig/s1278/IMG_8263.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The ink I've found works the best for stamping the black focal images is the Versafine Clair in Nocturne (black). It is a pigment-based ink and is extremely black and juicy which means it covers the stencilled design really well. I chose to use Distress Oxide Inks for the stencil colours as these are very opaque in colour so show up perfectly on the Bristol Smooth card. Of course, Oxides and the black Versafine Clair will both stay wet for quite some time and on some of my atc's I was worried about smearing the inks so I used super fine clear embossing powder after the stencilling and stamping part of this technique. It may not stick to all of the stencilled areas but that doesn't matter as imperfections in embossing are not an issue as far as I'm concerned, particularly when it is clear embossing powder!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I read up a fair bit before deciding to do this class and have opted to use Liquid Latex instead of masking fluid. It works just as well though it is a little thicker than a lot of the masking fluids that are available on the market. You can thin it down with a little distilled or bottled water but never shake masking fluid (or liquid latex) as it will cause bubbles, stir only. For all of my samples below I used the liquid latex on 300gsm watercolour paper, waited for the latex to dry (about 5-10 minutes), and then smooshed it into Distress Oxide Inks on a craft sheet to add the colour. Once again, wait for it to dry, then the big reveal.... rub off the liquid latex to show your white areas that you can colour or leave white. It's actually a lot of fun to do this technique but you need to have an idea of what you want to do and what will be left white before putting the latex down. Hope the girls like doing it!<br /><br />"Ghost"<br />(my favourite!)<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdsdcR5F_MmcrC23zEyPMnO6CssMZYebwlo2mNibeLmUaHRmn9eXmoTYpHh6e-4840GZnsbvhGp8tX_SPheIYVV37YliCcgPleENDl_5qUMC-_dpADnxnIoR_M6ook-YQh12orNeebzO31vLugBvLlK60B1boudO-AXyEXnfY9SzSfVsn1St3kyg/s1278/Ghost.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
