Jill has been keeping a secret!
She just shared today this canvas mixed media piece that she created for the introduction of the new Penny Black Creative Dies. Look carefully and amongst all the components you will see four different size Art Squares - 2 - 2" Twinchie Squares, a 3", an ATC and an Inchie Square!
See the details on Jill's blog at Inspired By!
Dina has taken a simple silhouette image and completely enhanced the emotion and feeling of the image with her use of color applied randomly (the background) and also applied as color 'texture'.
Visit her blog today, Mama Dini's Stamperia, to learn how she created these different color layers. The fact that she chose a dark gray ATC size Art Square for the base further compliments the tone of the finished piece!
This technique of layering with Penny Black stamps, Pan Pastels and stencils on a 3" white Art Square is so versatile as Jill shows again today with another card using the same sketch.
Stop by her blog, Inspired By, for the details!
Here is a tiny peek of Jill's posting today on her blog Inspired By. She is a master at layering and color treatments. In today's posting she combines stamping, Pan Pastels, Versamark ink, embossing and layering on a 3" white Art Square.
The results are....inspiring!!
We are very excited that a member of our design team, Jill Foster, is the guest designer for Ellen Hutson's the CLASSroom newsletter! In today's feature article Jill demonstrates her extraordinary use of color, showing watercolor techniques with stamping and Art Squares. Be sure and stop by the CLASSroom to follow her step by step instructions for creating these wonderful cards.
And on Ellen's In Touch blog, there is more! Artist Julie Ebersole has created some amazing cards utilizing the masking technique that we illustrated in earlier posts a couple of months ago. This technique is so versatile as you will see in Julie's work - and, she even created a video! Be sure and visit In Touch today to see her detailed instructions using two sizes of white Art Squares.
And look back through earlier postings here on April 27 and April 29 to see a variety of samples and instructions for this unique masking and coloring process.
And the best part of these postings...is that you can purchase all of the supplies used directly from the Ellen Hutson LLC on line store!
Layering with different stamps and different Fresh Ink colors on a 3" white Art Square.
Just wanted to share some of the cards that we have been teaching in our classes at Impress in Seattle. We have one more to go at the end of the month at their University Village store. All are created with either Impress or Savvy stamps and dies and some fun coloring techniques.
Stamp image and emboss on a dark gray 2" Twinchie Square; then color using Brilliance re-inkers like watercolor paint.
Fit together 3 white 1.5" Art Squares. Color stamp directly with Tombow markers, spray with water and then stamp - repeat spraying and stamping - overlapping images as they become more faint. Mount on card with space between squares.
The masking technique we have discussed in prior posts using a die, Eclipse paper, Fresh Ink pigment ink and embossing powder.
A different type of masking technique. Stamp image on white card stock and trim out. Stamp first image on a white ATC size Art Square. Cover this image with the one that has been trimmed out and then stamp next image, overlapping it. Repeat several times and then color with Copic markers.
It's always a fun class - contact Impress if you are interested in joining us.
