Definition: Aggregate is a collection of items that are gathered together to form a total quantity.

The fleeting moments of knowledge in which we discover our existence are facts that can be committed to memory. We can enlarge this aggregate memory and refashion it as we go through a lifetime. By saving these memories on paper and reconstructing the images of our lives. We see the art of our lives unfolding before us.

SDC101: Text Paper....




Hello Crafties....

Today is Stampotique Designer's Challenge day-!!! And I am hosting. I love using text in my work it is a fun way to get texture without a whole lot of work. With that I have a background tutorial for you to try.

Here is what you will need:

Artistcellar Playful Pods Stencils
Text Paper
Gel Medium
Pallet Knife
Tim Holtz Distress Paints in Weathered Wood, Bundled Sage, Broken China, Mustard Seed
Water in spray bottle
Heat Gun
Tim Holtz Distress in Broken China, Walnut Stain, Rusty Hinge
Tim Holtz Blending Tool
Pitt Pens
Stampotique Stamps
Copic Markers
Tsuineko Brilliance Ink pad Graphite Black
Card stock
Paper trimmer
Scissors
Prima Sunset Sunrise Brads
Plastic domed pellets from the hobby store found in the floral section
Glossy Accents glue
Pop Up tape


Step 1: I am using some brand new stencils from Artistcellar that are a signature series by Chris Cozen. Titled Playful Pods Series. I used Bodacious Pods Stencil below.


Step 2: Lay your stencil onto the text paper and spread the gel medium onto the stencil.

Step 3: Let gel medium dry. It will have a shine and will be clear.

Step4: Spray your text paper with water and dab the Distress Paint onto your page

Spray with more water and let run and bleed. I will pick up my paper and move the paint around.

Dry with heat gun. You can use a towel to dab up excess paint.

Step 5: Ink with Distress Inks and blending tool to add more depth.


Step 6: Outline pods with Pitt Pen in size S.

Step 7: Cut out desired card stock for a mat and card Adhere layers together.


 Step 8: Stamp Stampotique Stamps onto white card stock with TSUKINEKO Brilliance Graphite Black Ink Pad. Color with Copic Markers and fussy cut out. Use some pop up tape place onto card front. I also used these plastic domed pellets on the eyes of Bat Boy. Makes him look like he is wearing thick glasses.

Wishing you all a creative day-!
Sarinda

 Here is where you can find everything I used.

  4. What a fantastic tutorial, Sarinda!! And your challenge to us this week is right up my alley, as a Grammar Queen and Word Guru! This would be such a fun challenge to do, but, alas, I am miles and miles away from my studio for the next two weeks caring for my sister as she recuperates from surgery, so will not be able to participate! ;-(

    1. Oh Kay I am sorry your sister is recovering. I hope quick non the less. I can tell you are a word smith... lol. I am sure she will let you cut up a book she has laying around and then you could just doodle on it. ;D
      Take Care.

  11. Wonderful tag and a great tutorial!

    I had tried using gel medium over a stencil on a map, but it didn't work out. After reading your tutorial, I realized what I did wrong and I'm ready to try again!
