Tuesday Tip/Technique

Hello friends

It's Tuesday so it's tip/technique time.

I think I've already earned the reputation of recycling items or using items

around the home so this week it is....toilet tissue!

Yes honestly it is!

This technique is called paper casting.  

Layer up about 5 squares of toilet tissue and die cut with a shape - I've chosen Classic Hearts.

 It cut in one pass.

 Select a stamp, I chose a sentiment but you could go with a decorative one

or both!  Line up on your acrylic block.

 You then need some water and some kitchen towel.  Tap water is fine, I just had a bottle

of water to hand in the cabin.

 Pour some water onto the central area of the heart and lay it over your stamp.

Pat down and then apply the kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as

possible.  Gently lift off and place somewhere to dry.

 The finished effect - you can also ink your stamp and stamp into the image,

mine was still a little damp so I didn't risk that!

Experiment with different dies and stamps and you need not tell anyone it is 

toilet tissue!

Take care friends - I'm back tomorrow.
