Black Stazon

Stampin Write markers

Blender pen

Acrylic block

Basically this was a very easy card....just stamp the image with stazon and allow to dry completely.  Then I used an acrylic block to scribble the ink from the markers.  I picked up the ink with my blender pen and colored the image.  After that is just putting the card together as shown in the photo. 

Have fun!

9.  Sketch Challenges: 

10.  Monthly Tutorial:   This month we are learning about Shadow Rolling

SHADOW ROLLING Supplies Needed: . Stampin' Around Handle & Wheel . Stampin' Around ink cartridge (any colour) . Uninked Cartridge & Whisper White craft ink refill . Optional: Stampin' Around wheel guide 1. Creating this look is surprisingly easy. Begin by rolling your wheel on scratch paper until the entire wheel is completely inked; you'll want to begin with the darker ink first.  2. Next, find the seam on the wheel (Figure 1), and position it even with the edge of the paper (Figure 2).     3. Carefully roll the image onto the card stock.  4. Clean off the wheel, and insert a Whisper White cartridge.  5. Completely ink your wheel again.  6. Finally, locate the seam again, and place it slightly before the spot where you began on the first roll. Now carefully roll the lighter image on top of the darker image, creating a wonderful dry-embossed look. For perfect positioning, the Stampin' Around wheel guide is a handy tool.    Well girls, that is it for this month....if you have any questions, feel free to contact me:  Phone: 204-232-7744  Email:  shel@shelscreativecorner.com
