Technique Tuesday

This week I’ll share two techniques using oil pastels

Supplies:

Artists Oil Pastel Crayons

Light Color Card stock

Gesso

Sandpaper

Water

Foam Brush

Instructions:

1. Use a combination of two or more oil pastel crayons; apply these pastels to cover in a desired pattern over the light card stock.
2. You will want this application rather thick.
3. Use a foam brush to apply gesso over the oil pastel background.
4. If your gesso is too thick, you can wet the foam brush with a little bit of water.
5. Allow the gesso to dry thoroughly.
6. Use a piece of medium grade sandpaper to lightly sand off some of the gesso.
7. Note: You can sand in one direction and then another if desired.
8. Add finishing touch to your project.

 I came up with this technique using oil pastels back in April. I shared it on OWSE group and then a project over on my blog for Grungy Monday. The instructions are the same as the first technique with the except using Pearl Dabber paint, Archival Ink and I didn't sand this technique.

This is my first piece using this technique. I used Hearts in Touch Rubber Stamps on this example using Pearl Dabber paint on Oil Pastel Crayons.

Felonious Friday with Outlaw Gal - Perfect Distress

Hey it's Friday again and it's another Felonious Friday. Today I have the Perfect Distress Technique for you .. By that I mean using Perfect Pearls and Distress Inks.

First I took some Distress Ink and applied some to my Craft Mat. Then a spritz or two of water and I took my tag and wiped it across the ink. I dried it some and applied some more. This is so I get a pattern going on the tag. I wanted a blotchy look. I dried the tag. You have to because next I was going to use some Perfect Pearls and I only wanted the area I stamp in to be wet. I stamped my Snowman and leafy branches with Distress Ink and then right away applied the perfect pearls over it. When you buy the kits of Perfect Pearls they come with the brushes you need. I took the smaller brush to apply the perfect pearls and the larger one to wipe off the area around.. Now the important part is to spritz with water to set the perfect pearls.. Don't forget this step.

I then ran my tag through my Vagabond with a Texture Fade full of Snowflakes..

I edged my tag with Walnut Stain Distress Inks

A lot of Distress Inks were used in this project for sure for sure!!

I stamped my sentiment with Distress Ink again and used the Perfect Pearls not forgetting to spritz with water. I edged the sentiment with Walnut Stain also.

I'm using this tag to go on my Christmas Tree so I applied some trim and on the top made a hanger with the trim and some on the bottom

. Voila once again I have a finished tag with the Perfect Distress Technique!!

My Camera takes horrible pictures so you can't see it shimmering with the perfect pearls

but it tis, it tis!! LOL

You can buy all of the products I used at Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium.

See you next week.

Felonious Friday

Burnt Brown Bag

Welcome to Technique Tuesday! by Judy Cantrell 

My mother suggested that I share a technique seen

many years ago on Aleene’s Craft Show.

Burnt Brown Bag

When Aleene shared this technique my mother and I made wall

decorations with these leaves.

Instructions:

Begin by die cutting the leaves (Tatterered leaves)

using Kraft paper or brown grocery bags.

You will need a set of two leaves for each leaf.

  Use a credit card to apply Aleene’s glue on inside of one leaf, cut a piece of 22

gauge floral wire 3 3/4" long and place down center of leaf.
Leave a small portion of the wire out from stem to use as a holder.
Adhere the two leaves together. Let dry.

   Apply (Aleene’s) glue with your finger over the front and back of leaf with a
generous but even amount of glue with no paper showing.
While the glue is still wet, light a white emergency candle with no scent
in a well ventilated area if you are doing a lot of these at one time.
My suggestion: use exhaust fan in our bathroom for this technique. 

Use pliers to hold wire extending out of leaf in the flame until it is black in color.

It may take a few tries to get it right, bubbling glue is OK.

If you have done it correctly the glue will be set and will not come off. Place leaf back into the flame if you see spot of wet glue.
When you are finished with the leaves wipe some of black soot off and then dry

brush color on each leaf. These leaves with last for years.

I used Viva Inka-Gold on my examples.

Years ago when Aleene did this technique she use Rub 'n Buff.

A gorgeous wreath or table decoration can be made using these leaves.

Supplies for this technique:

Tattered Leaves  Die

Aleene’s Glue (Brown bottle)
This technique works with this glue.

22 gauge floral wire

Paint

Kraft paper or brown bag

Emergency candle with no scent

Sunday Papers with Jeanette....INK, Part One

INK, Part One

I can't be really technical with you about all of the inks on the

market today but I can share with you what I find interesting.

Recently, an article about ink in CardMaker Magazine caught my eye.

That is how I found out about a new type of ink that is on the market.

It is a hybrid ink.   Uhm?   How about you, have you ever heard of Hybrid Ink? 

If not, here is what I found out about it.

But, first lets have a little primer on our more familiar inks.

Dye Based Ink

Used in most basic stamping. Makes a nice sharp image and dries quickly.

Pigment Ink

Used in basic stamping but is thicker and slower to dry. Also, can be used for heat embossing.

Chalk Ink

This ink makes a softer image when stamped. Great to use for distressing. Very quick drying.

Solvent Ink

Used for stamping on acetate, glass, metal and glossy cardstock. Really quick drying.

Watermark Ink

This ink is colorless and when used leaves a tone on tone image when stamped on darker carkstock. Dries quickly.

Embossing Ink

Thick, clear and slow drying ink used for heat embossing. 

And, now we come to the Hybrid Ink. The newest type of ink available. This ink is a mix of dye based and pigment inks combined to replace the ink used in most of the applications listed above. It does need to be heat set on a nonporous surface and it dries too quickly to use for heat embossing.

This hybrid ink is manufactured by Stewart Superior and the product name is Palette.

The Palette Hybrid ink pad represents an innovation in stamping ink technology. It eliminates all the confusion over which ink to use for what surface - because it works on everything and is a non-solvent ink. It doesn’t smell bad , it’s nonflammable and it won’t immediately dry out. It dries instantly on paper and porous surfaces and requires a heat-set on glossy surfaces and fabrics. from Stewart Superior Here are the Palette colors. You will find all of these right here  in the OWSE shop. I've just ordered some of the Palette inks to try.    As soon as I receive them and can play around with them...I will share my findings with you.  Stay tuned for INK, Part Two coming soon. See our complete inventory of Inks, HERE, Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium.  Remember, if you don't see what you want....just ask.  jeanette@ididitcreations.com Until next time....Jeanette
