Good morning! Whoops! Another day went by and I spaced off a post again! I guess my posting-every-day goal is not going so well. Oh, well, most of you probably don't want to read my thoughts every day anyway!
I was thinking for this morning I'd share a technique. Every month at our Close to My Heart meetings, one consultant shows the other consultants a technique. I will try to share that with you.
In my opinion, I know quite a lot about scrapbooking ... but I don't know many of the different and creative techniques, so I love this part of the meeting! And many of these techniques are ones I love, but not necessarily ones I would have been brave enough to experiment with myself.
Today we are going to try thumping. And, I actually missed the meeting where this was taught - so I'm going to be learning it myself today too. I took a picture of the technique card they made at the meeting I missed, so now I have to see if I can decipher the instructions - since I took it with my cell phone and it's not a very high quality picture.
First, you choose a bolder, more solid stamp. Attach it to your block, and then choose one lighter colored ink. Then choose one to three darker colored markers (darker than your ink).
Second, ink your image.
Third, using the brush side of your marker, thump or tap your inked image. Repeat with all colors.
Fourth, before stamping your image, huff on the stamp. Then stamp.
Enjoy your marbelized image.
Need more detailed instructions - and better pictures? Check out the thumping tutorial on the SplitCoastStampers web site. (It has many great techniques and project ideas - I will blog about that later!)
