Creative Chemistry 103- Day 2
One of the techniques shown today used three products that I love, but have been languishing unused in my stash. What a great opportunity to break them out again. The products I am talking about are Distress Markers, Stencils and my Compressor. The technique is called Distress Marker Spritzed Watercolour.
I confess that I had never before used my compressor with any marker other than Copics. At first I fashioned a tape around the marker barrel to fit it snugly into the Copic spray handle, but it wasn’t long before I figured out a way to hold the marker just right and get it to spray with out the fuss.
I took Tim’s suggestion and decided to try it with a stencil, since I hadn’t used a stencil for a while either. I tried the Roses stencil and this Treads one. They both worked beautifully.
I like the resulting card. I think it is a great, and hard to come by, artsy masculine card.
Make it Monday #256 Papertrey Ink
Once I got over the shock of Melissa making a one layer card 🙂 , I started to look through my stamps to see which one I could use to spritz watercolour.
My first attempt was using the snowshoe and sled from Two Feet Deep. Both items were shades of brown and just seemed so dull when I watered them down. Attempts to add brightness and shine seemed off the mark, so I started over again.
This card is the result. I think I like it better although the snowshoe one is growing on me.
Just for comparison, here is the Sled/Snowshoe one.
