Good Morning Everyone.....I hope you are all having a VERY Blessed day today!!!! It's THURSDAY....only 1 more day til FRIDAY!!!! Ok....just wanted to show you some REALLY cool things......the first is the next playing card inline for my group ARTHaven Creations & Friendship this one is the Ace of Diamonds.......it came together very quickly for me last night and I am quite pleased with it......very simple...but I think it has a really nice impact!!! Whatcha' think?
Then NEXT.......this is SO cool!!!!! I learned these next 2 techniques from some AMAZING ARTists on the SCALhints group....Anyway...the first is a way to make your own STICKY DOTS!!!! And it's WONDERFUL......
All you need is the Aileen's Tack it Over and Over glue which comes in a bottle...there's a picture in the image for you to see.....and you make whatever size dots or lines you want...some have suggested putting on the glossy side of butcher paper...pretty much anything with a slick surface will do...I chose to use some thin CD cases I have that I don't use and it works PERFECTLY......allow to dry THOROUGHLY and WHOLA!!! Sticky Dots!!!!! I know, you probably think....WHY????? BUT, when you think about it....you spend approximately $4.00 for a roll of "sticky" dots.........and you get 300 dots......well this way you can make THOUSANDS for pennies!!!! PLUS you can make them whatever size you want!!!!!
The next REALLY REALLY REALLY cool CHEAP technique is homemade "color soft".....that's not the actual word...but when you see this, I know you'll know what I'm talking about.....I was going to give the link to the tutorial....but it's already been made a private video.........I think that's because it's such an AWESOME find!!!!! Ok......Here's the picture of how mine looked when I made some last night.....
All I did was rubbed my sytrofoam items together to make dust..........then I used some of my reinkers....some are using food coloring, spritzers...just whatever you can come up with that works for you...I've found working with my craft sheet is WONDERFUL......I drop a few droplets of my reinkers onto my craft mat.....took a spray bottle of water and spritzed it a couple of times onto the craft mat as well then took a spatula type item and mixed the styrofoam dust together with the reinker and water until it was all mixed and I had the depth of color I wanted my "color soft" to be......WHOLA!!!! I allowed to dry over night and it's AWESOME....I can't WAIT to try it out on some flowers......I've been told any glue will work but what is used mostly with the OTHER "color soft" is Aileen's TACKY Glue.......it's just repackaged...which makes sense......
UPDATE!!!!! - I'm SO excited to get to share with you that I have been in contact with the AWESOME Lady that created the tutorial for the technique I just shared above....her name is Holly Young and she deserves proper credit for her WONDERFUL idea!!!!!! She has edited her tutorial and is now able to share with the world so check out her tutorial on making "color fluff" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_tz3P9NOcY THANK YOU HOLLY!!!!
