Club Scrap January Artist Challenge: Faux Batik

Welcome to the Club Scrap January

Artist Team Challenge and

this month we share with you cards 

with a Faux Batik technique

I hope you have arrived here from
Pam's Blog
and see what wonderful projects she has
come up with.

There are various way of doing this technique
and I used one of the tutorials from
Splitcoaststampers here.

And here are my cards:

For this hop I made 4 cards in the same batik technique

with various stamps. 

This card is made with mostly this months papers

and stamps from the Color Me Happy kit,

but the pot and the sentiment are from

April 2009 Pure and Simple. I love using

distress inks for this way I could also sprinkle

some waterdrops and give the background

an even more batik look.

Here all papers and stamps from the January

Color Me Happy kit. The enamal dots are from

my stash.

The next two cards are made with the base

from the Office kit in combination with

the Color Me Happy kit. 

To be honest this was one of the first trials

of this technique and I almost discarded it. 

But then When I added the sentiment it looked

ready to use. The leather ribbon and beads

are from my Club Scrap stash. 

This card is made with one of my favorite

(vintage wooden) stamp, the tulips.

This was my contribution, but there is
more inspiration. Hop over to
Jennifer's Blog
and see her awesome artwork.

If you hapen to loose your way,
you can always go back to the
Club Scrap Blog
and see all the designer's link addresses.

Thank you for looking
and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Artist Team challenge: Bleach

Every month the Club Scrap Artist Team

has  a technique challenge and this

month it is 

~stamping with bleach~

You can find out about the technique on the 

Club Scrap Blog.

I have two cards for you to share.

I have been trying with bleach on my papers,

but did not get a great result. Not every paper

works with the bleach. Then I remembered 

I did a technique called "Batik Bleach"

(click on the words and you have a printable tutorial)

and that is what I want to share with you here:

I put some papers in a box and took two spray

inks that fitted the papers of the

September "Transformations"- kit: blue and green.

You can use any spray ink you have.

I guess you know why the paper is in a box, because

you don't want ink everywhere on your desk!

After spraying let the ink dry or use your

heat gun if you are in a hurry.

Prepare a tray with a few layers of paper towel

and add some (cheap) bleach.

Take your stamp and use the bleach pad for

stamping. You will notice it takes a little while

to react completely.

These are the two backgrounds I made with some

of the rubber stamps from the

"Transformations"- kit.

Now the pannels are ready to use on a card.

This kit came with some beautiful sentiments

that are great to stamp on this background and

emboss with black embossing powder. The stones

are stamped on black paper and embossed with silver.

As i used only half of the stone pile on the front of the card, 

I used the other half on the inside for decoration.

The second card is with the ginko stamp.

As our neigbours have such a tree in front of their house,

I have many pictures and see that the eaves are starting to fall now.

Besides the bleached background, I also stamped the

leaves on shrink plastic for decoration on top

of the card as falling leaves, to go with the sentiment.

I glued them on the card with glossy accent and added 

also glossy accent on top of the leves to make them shine.

The little strip i had left over i stamped with gold

ink and the leave for decoration inside the card.

Thank you for looking!

Have a creative day!

Penny Black Saturday challenge 162

Here is my card for the

Saturday Penny Black Challenge

and the theme is:

Penny Black/ground

meaning

make a background with a Penny Black stamp.

Here is how I made the background

for this card: Batik Bleach technique

and I have a tutorial for you HERE.

You need some glimmermist (or spray ink)

and bleach and of course your PB stamp.

I used "Brush Bud" 2104C for this background

and "Dream a dream" 3615H for the focal image.

If you like to use this background,

you can safe this picture to your own computer.

And with the little scrap that I had left

after cutting I used for the inside. It was just  

too nice to throw away.

Have a creative day!

De stempels die ik voor deze kaart gebruikt heb zijn de Cliosonné Paisley stempel van Michael Strong en de tekststempel van Stampers Anonymous.This technique I named "Batik Bleach", because the effect really looks like a batik.
