No-one Guessed??????
Thursday, May 7th, 2009
So no-one guessed what technique I used on the below card, I was offering a prize for the first person to guess and a random winner from everyone who guessed. Seeing that no-one guessed correct I am giving the prize to the closest first answer which was using makers, That winner is Leanne Frank {Leanne I have emailed you and you have won Best yet stamp set}. The random winner is Casey J {Casey I have emailed you for mailing details as you have in-colour ribbon pack on its way out to you}. Thank you to everyone who played along.
Do you want to know what I did?????? It was easy….. I am surprised no one guessed it. I don’t know the name of it but is goes a little something like this……
1. Using Pale Plum SU Marker Colour direct to the rubber over the flower petals. {Note I have only inked up two of the flowers}
2. Colour direct to rubber again this time with Old Olive Marker on the leafs and stem.
{I know you’re thinking mmmm….. I have seen this before…….}
3. Using a plastic bag {YES a plastic bag} put it over your finger and you’re going to drag it down the petals…. Can you see what is happening
4. Now do the same on the leafs and stem with a clean section of the bag.
5. In my case I have now “thumped” with a Perfect Plum marker on the top of each flower adding a different texture.
6. Then I just gave the rubber a little “huff” and stamped the image down on to Whisper White Cardstock.
By dragging the plastic bag over the bold image it moved the ink around creating light and shade without removing much of the ink and still keeping the colours strong. Plastic bags can also create many different effects on bold images I could of applied a darker tone to the image by scribbling the darker colour to the bag and then dragging over the lighter colour.
I have another way I have used a Plastic bag on Bold Images creating a different effect again which I will post in a few days.
Thanks for dropping by and understood what I was talking about {giggle}.
