New from Scrapware

As part of the Design Team for Scrapware, I was given a new release to have a play with. It was the 'Minchie A' frame with 16 1/2" squares. It was challenging at first but I must say that I am more than happy with the result.

Scrapware pieces used:

Playing with Rubber Cement

While surfing the internet, I came across some Tutorials about 'Rubber Cement' & thought I must give it ago. It is just another way of doing the 'resist' technique & is lots of fun. On the tutorials I watched, they painted the Rubber Cement onto the card, however I decided to have a go at applying the Cement to a stamp, this was so much fun.

• Picture 1: Live Laugh Love - I painted the cement onto gloss card & brayed ink over the top.
• Picture 2: Happiness - I painted the cement onto blue cardstock & painted over the top.
• Picture 3: Dare - I painted the cement onto a stamp & stamped onto white gloss cardstock, brayed over the top & then stamped using Coloured inkpad.
• Picture 4: Dream - I brayed a light colour ink onto gloss cardstock, then painted the cement onto a flourish stamp & stamped onto the cardstock, once dry, I brayed a darker colour ink.

This technique is so much fun & I am sure I will be using it again very soon.
