I have enjoyed getting to know all the girls in my club class and will miss their smiles & craftiness! Just like most crafters, I had been stuck in a rut of using the same supplies and techniques over and over again. The club class made me think out side of the box; I did lots of research and browsing ideas, magazines, websites, etc. in an attempt to create cards/ projects that the club would have fun making.
When I first started scrapbooking I adored using my chalks. But, somewhere along the way my chalk sets got pushed back in my closet and forgotten about. Until recently, I found my love for these versatile (sometimes messy) coloring tools. It appears to me that a lot of different stamping companies seem to be offering silhouette style stamp images. I've played around with different ways to utilize these styles of images but I really enjoyed this technique the best. Take a looky:
The card uses three different Stampin' Up stamp sets (Dreams du Jour, Fresh Cuts, On your Birthday). And, a lot of heat embossing- something I really do not do often.
After Heat embossing the Fresh Cuts image (on shimmery White Card Stock) I took my chalk sets and Q-tips and got to coloring in the white space. I really like using the shimmery white card stock under stamped images because the shimmer shows up under the coloring! A neat, glimmery affect with out a lot of work! Also, I would like to note that the butterfly is from the Dreams Du Jour set and is pop dotted on top of the silhouette image.
