Wonderful entries this week. Unfortunately the only RWB project I had was a scrapbook layout - the CAC stamps are my go to when I want to customize my 12 x 12.

Blog Hop with Julie Fei-Fan Balzer & the Crafter's Workshop First, a little business...our Challenge Winner for our Under the Sea challenge is all the way from the Netherlands...Miranda from ‘Mir’acle Art Inspirations. Congrats Miranda! And now for today's fun...in March we began manufacturing a line of stamps that coordinate with stencils from The Crafter's Workshop. Designed by the unbelievably creative Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, these six stamp sets are designed as such: Each stamp set works independently. Each stencil works independently. Each stencil has a matching stamp set. Each stamp set a matching stencil. And they work together. This is way out of my comfort zone, but I thought I'd play along to challenge myself. Stencils obviously lend themselves to being used with paint, and when paint is involved anything goes. I played around sponging backgrounds with some pearlescent acrylic paint. I decided to really just play with them and see where it took me. Ultimately I sponged and layered a bunch of different designs on a big sheet of watercolor paper and then cropped out the bits that I liked. I kept my card designs simple to really feature the designs and did a little bit of a closeup that shows the pearlescence better. Today the IO design team...

Tuesday T&T Two Oceans Of Fun! I really liked dkdesigns images the minute I saw them. Today I am showing two techniques. The first one is basic layering using Dina's Sail Collage. The second one is a shaker using Dina's Beachcomber and Gary Robertson's Path To The Beach. For some reason, that is what I thought of the minute I saw that cute little guy. Sail Collage - H13022, Rolling Waves - CC123 The first card uses: Image Layering: Stamped Sail Collage on dark brown cardstock inking just the edges (frame) with Brilliance Galaxy Gold. Used heat gun to set ink. Cut the center out and used the edge as a frame. Stamped the whole image again twice with white card stock using Brilliance Galaxy Gold again. Used heat gun to set ink. The second image is used as a map to follow for layering. Cut the compass, the boat, and the wave out. I painted the images with watercolors, but any medium will work (Copic, ShinHann, etc.): The ship was layered first with just tape. For the waves and I used 1/16" 3D pop dots. For the frame I used 1/8" 3D pop dots. For dimension on the waves I used Viva Decor Pearl Pen....
