the Game tile.

- Blend by daubing with the white felt pad.
- Repeat adding color, spritzing and blending as many times
as needed to get a pleasing background on your game tile.

the stamp, lift off and let dry.
- Edge game tile with black sharpie pen and put to the side.

"Princess"
Stamp Artist - Liesbeth van Ree |
|
Directions
- Create a background by running little lines of glue over
white paper and letting these dry. After they are dried, paint
over them with waterpaint and let the paint dry. Once dried,
remove the glue from the background.
- For the background of the centre piece, stamp the flower
with versamark on white paper and let it dry. Once dry, paint
over it with the waterpaint. Make sure you use a lot of water
and dont go over the versamark-image too often.
- The versamark will resist the waterpaint and the flower remains
slightly visible. Let the paint dry. Once dry, stamp Kharya on
the paper with black StazOn.
- Mount the centre piece with Kharya and the background with
"glue lines" on black paper. Then attach the centre
piece on the background with the "glue lines".
- Finally, attach a piece of fibre along the edges with the
glue.

"Southwest Bear"
Stamp Artist - Kathryn Donoho-Munro |
Supplies & Rubber Stamps:
- Rubber Stamps
Gila Bear, 843D, small - B & J Arts Stamps
- Speckled Rust cardstock
- Black cardstock
- Copper nail heads
- Embossing ink - Judi-Kins
- Liquid appliqué (Brown, White, Orange, Yellow) - Marvy/Uchida
- Chunky Embossing Power (copper) - B & J Art Stamps
- Watermark ink - Versamark
- Double-sided tape and adhesive of choice
|
|
Directions:
- Cut 3 5x4 pieces from black cardstock.
- Cut rust cardstock to 4 ¼ x 11, fold to form card.
- On first piece of black cardstock, apply a good coat of embossing
ink (remember it dries fast). Then quickly apply a coat of embossing
powder. Now heat with heat gun. Next apply your choice of liquid
appliqué/s. Apply lines or squiggles of the appliqué
on the cardstock, using your finger, rub it over the surface,
edge to edge. Heat again. As you heat the appliqué, you
will see it raise and crinkle. Note: there is a fine line between
the paper burning and all of the appliqué crinkling, so
you might wish to practice on a small piece before your final
piece.
- On second piece of black cardstock, apply liquid appliqué.
Again, use your choice of colors, apply in lines or squiggles,
and using your finger, rub the appliqué of the surface.
Heat with heat gun. You will notice this layer will feel similar
to soft leather or suede. Next apply a light, varied coat of
embossing ink over the surface. (You want the appliqué
to show through when finished) Now apply the embossing powder,
then heat.
- One the last piece of black cardstock, stamp the bear design
with watermark ink, apply the embossing powder and heat. Cut
out bear.
- Tear each of the embossed pieces to your desired shapes.
Layer the two torn pieces and attach nail heads. If desired,
the two pieces can be layered either way. Mine was done with
the second embossed piece first, etc. It's simply a matter of
choice. Attach these two pieces to card with adhesive.
- Finally, attached the cut out bear with double-sided tape
for a nice raised look.
