Atelier de Techniques-coloriage / Coloring Technique Workshop

Avez-vous déjà utilisé les crayons métalliques de Stampin' Up! ? Moi jes les ai et les adore! Ils sont parfaits pour colorier sur du carton foncé. Ils sont juste assez gras pour faciliter un beau coup de crayon. Cette carte fait partie de mon atelier de techniques de coloriage qui reviendra à chaque mois. La prochaine date sera le 28 novembre prochain. Allez jeter un coup d'oeil à mon blog d'ateliers pour voir les 4 cartes qui font l'objet de mon atelier!



Did you ever try the metallic coloring pens from Stampin' Up! ? I have them and love them! They are beautiful when used on dark cardstock. Their "greasy" texture makes them glide on the paper. This card is part of my Coloring Techniques Workshop. Every month, this workshop focuses on 4 different techniques. Please go visit my Workshop Blog to see all 4 cards you will make.

Thank Goodness for Alcohol ...

Nah, not the one you drink (although I could use a glass just about now), but the one you use on projects. Like the one you are seeing now. Here's another project we did last week. This time, the stamped image was done on a Stampbord "mini-bord" by Ampersand Art Supply that I got at Heather's Stamping Haven in Nepean. These "mini-bords" are great because they are thick but light and provides a surface that is almost non-porous. The images stamped on those are crisp. From what I understand, they can also be scratched to create details. If you look at the second picture you might see that the tile has been embossed with clear powder. It is too bad the picture doesn't show the full effect. It is quite nice. Also, I have mixed the colors and some Gold Mixative for a different effect. I am having so much fun with that technique... can you tell?! Take care!
