Hey Junkies! It's the Crafty Nurse back with a little inspiration post for you today featuring more of the June release stamps from Technique Junkies.
Today I've got a great summer card for you using the Gel Medium Resist Technique found on the Sensational Stencil CD.
I began by watercoloring the "Seahorse" stamp using distress inks. To create the background, I applied gel medium through my stencil and allowed to dry. My color was added using Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays in gold, brown and blues. The gel medium picks up some of the spray colors which I think looks great. You'll find more details and other options in the Sensational Stencils CD for this technique. The starfish is cut out from the "Tide Pool Starfish" stamp and the tag is an Avery Elle die.
Here's a close-up of the gel medium.
I hope you'll find some time this week to play with your Technique Junkie stamps. Don't forget to stop by the TJ store and see all the fun new product Pat is carrying in addition to stamps.
See you again soon,
The Crafty Nurse
