Greetings!

I'm always on the look out for fun new ways (And CHEAP!) to add appeal to my Decos, cards, journals and ATC's. I found this one on Youtube, and hope you'll enjoy the process.

Details: You will create 5 unique images for 1 partner using this youtube video to walk you through the process. These are lightweight, so mailing will be cheap. If your tape is still sticky above the transfer, please trim it off, so they don't stick together.

Youtube tutorial is here

I tired it, and warm water is definitely the way to go, and don't be in a hurry to scrape the paper off. It's as she desribes it - don't use your finger nails...more the pads of your hands. Sender's choice, so you can start making them as soon as you sign up :) Please no marking down if your partner doesn't nail your wheel house - these are lightweight enough to add as a design on an envelope you send on in another swap as a pretty decoration :)

Since we are doing 5, I'm allowing 2 weeks to get your images put together and mailed so things are nice and dry. Due to issues with the post office and mail delays, please allow 3 weeks from swap close before contacting your partner if you haven't received. IF you can't resolve it between the 2 of you, please let me know and we'll work together to get things taken care of. 1's are no fun, so please be sure if you sign up, you are going to follow through. Communication is an awesome thing :)

I hope you have fun trying out this new and easy way to add interest to your art. Questions - please message me, I see it a lot quicker that way.

Promptly rate a 5 if you receive your 5 goodies, and as always hearts are up to you. :)

I tried my first one last night and it turned out so nice - a little bit of paper left, so I'll let it soak a little longer for the next ones. So neat how this works!

Eek! I've been working on these and the take is still so sticky around the images. I'm wondering how to I'm going to be able to mark these!

stkirsch, I found that using magazine images worked REALLY well - the paper just literally fell off after a few seconds in water..and then I trimmed the outside of the images. Just imagine what bigger/wider tape could do!! :D I love these.. practice with different kinds of papers and you'll discover what works best.
