Oh so velvety!! New Tutorial and Blog Candy

This is one super simple texturing technique that uses Liquid Applique (made by Marvy Uchida). So, gather your materials:

• heat gun


• Liquid Applique
  
• brayer


• cardstock


• matching ink pad

Squirt a generous amount of Liquid Applique on your cardstock. If you already know the size of your project you could use a smaller piece of cardstock, saving you some of that wonderful Liquid Applique. Brayer the Liquid Applique to cover the entire piece of cardstock. I brayed only in one direction, but you can do both vertically and horizontally to get a smoother texture. IMMEDIATELY wash your brayer - if you let the applique dry on it you'll be spending the day peeling that stuff off.
Heat with your gun.
Notice how the applique dries white? I used a direct-to-paper with my ink pad to change the color so it will match the cardstock, in this case Stampin' Up's Blush Blossom. Here' s my finished card :). I used two stamps sets from Clear Dollar Stamps called Leaves and For Our Lord. Close-up of the texture you get using this technique!

As always, I love what you have to say about my tutorials, and even better when you try them out and show me what you've created! Everyone who leaves me a comment (no card creations needed...but it would be great!) will receive this huge Prima Marketing set called Build-A-Frame...ooh....ahh.. Winner will be randomly chosen and announced September 22.
This is what you can make with them...awesome, right?
