Glue-some Cemetery with Suzi

Good Day All, Today I'd like to share with you a couple of pages I've created in my large Art Journal.  

I had great fun playing with my Hot Glue Gun to create the background for this project, You can find a full step by step tutorial over on my blog.

I used the wonderful 'Ghost Girl in Graveyard image #124' along with 'Frankenstein Bat' from the 'Creepy Cute Bat Set image #84'

Hello Oddballs

It´s me again, Tina: 

There is a new Technique a Week. Today I made for you a video tutorial in which I would like to show you how to make my flowers with Foamiran. The tutorial is divided into 4 parts, because the file was otherwise too large, to show all in one video. 

At first... What is Foamiran? 

Foamiran is a moss rubber-like material, only very much thinner. 

Only about 0.7 - 0.8 mm thick and with a very soft velvety surface. 

The material can easily be formed by heat, but can also be processed without. There are many different ways to design flowers.

I wear gloves in the video because I am currently allergic to everything ...Of course you do not have to.

Now we start

And now we come to the videos.

There you can follow the steps better than in a photo guide.

On youtube you can find also the Info Boxes.

It´s Technique Time: Soap Bubble

Hello Oddballs

Tina: It´s technique time...

Today I would like to show you, as you can easily create a background.

The technique is called

"Soap Bubble Technique"

And here comes the photo tutorial

1.

You need

*Disposable gloves

*Drinking straws

*Something to stir

*Not too high containers

*Acrylic paints of your choice

*Dish Soap

2.

Now you put some dish soap in your bowl...

3.

and add a little color to it ...

mix it

4.

Now use the drinking straw carefully,

until there are so many bubbles that protrude beyond the edge.

If it does not make enough bubbles ... 

the mixture simply with the ingredients still expand.

5.

Now take a white piece of Cardstock and

place it gently over the bubbles.

Then lift the paper off immediately.

6.

The result should look something like this ...

The process a few times in different places

repeat on the paper!

7.

Now you can repeat everything with one or two other colors,

until you like the background.

And now everything has to dry well ... about 2-3 hrs.

Do not dab with a cloth over it . it ruins the soap bubbles!

In the meantime you can edit the motif or

prepare the design of your card.

Here is my finish card

I used for this Easter card the image

"Evie n Bunny"

#30

I colored with Touch Twin Markers

Can you see

how beautiful the soap bubbles look in the background?

I would be very happy,

if you use this technique for your next work and

took part in our Challenge in the Oddball Facebook Group.

This way...

See you soon...
