Description:

This swap is to make 2 atcs for your partner using the " Texture paste technique" To any of you who havent tryed it its very simple... all you will need is some brass stencils and either craft texture paste or as i use.... POLYFILLA ( filler for DIY purposes) they both work the same...(but ones cheaper) first you need to attach your chosen stencil to your card with low tack tape then smear the paste over the stencil allowing it to fill the holes smooth the top off and gently remove the stencil - allow to dry! you should have a textured raised embellishment to paint ink etc. very easy to do... get stuck in... you'll love it.

If you do have problems email me i can always provide a tutorial on my blogg for all to see just PM me if need be. see picture of one i had made before.

THE RULES: * Swappers with 4.8 and over rating * 1 partner - 2 ATC's * ATC Size is 3 1/2inches by 2 1/2inches * No recent 3's or 1's * Newbies welcome with a well filled out profile and Pm. *You can embelish anyway you wish, any theme you wish but it must include this technique on each card *Be kind if you wish by giving extras but its not to be expected rate a heart for good work. *Send something you wouldnt mind receiving yourself! lastly... *BE SURE TO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY!!!!!

ah thanks very much, did you see it on my blog? (greens a nice colour - lol) i have two children in a three bedroom house and when i found out my second child was a boy i thought -great he can share with my eldest leaving my craft room as it is - how selfish?

to all that this is new to, forgot to mention - wash stencils immediatly after this process... can be a pain to clean otherwise.

is it okay to cut my own stencil? if so, I'm in!

larnieloo86 02/15/2009 #

yes thats a great idea, it just adds to the fact that its handmade. hope you get a heart for that! happy swapping...
