Today is
Technique Day for the Yahoo Group Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps and I chose to use
an old simple technique called Faux Vellum and another technique to do a metal faux bracket. .
I found the faux vellum technique in the April/May 2009 edition of the Technique
Junkies News letter. This technique uses
copy or printer paper, cotton balls, paper towels and baby oil. The copy paper is rubbed with the baby oil
and then the excess is rubbed off with a paper towel. Once the paper is dry you
use the paper as you would use a piece of vellum paper. This faux vellum takes markers and coloured
pencils like a dream.
I stamped
with black Stazon Ink Mike’s hummingbird stamp on the vellum and then masked
the hummingbird and over stamped with a Hero Arts design block. The flowers and
hummingbird were coloured with pencil crayons then I layered the faux vellum
over a piece of pattern card stock with a swirls in white, greens and
blues. I think the pattern paper gives
a sky affect behind the stamped images.
To
create a faux metal bracket I painted the die cut with brown acrylic paint,
then added a layer of silver embossing powder, then a layer of UTEE and then
added a second layer of silver embossing powder and then another layer of UTEE.
Once I had all of the layers of embossing powder on I then rubbed on black dye
ink and then rubbed some of the ink off until I got the effect I wanted.
Thanks for
stopping by today.
