collograph 1 of a kind card materials list

Transcription

1 collograph Collography is a relief-printing process; a piece of cardboard or wood is covered with shapes, fibers, texture mediums, etc., to create a collage printing plate. In this simplified version I created the butterfly shapes with a Sizzix die from a piece of a cardboard box and then glued the shapes to a cardboard base. You could also handcut your shapes or try printing ink rather than acrylic paint. of a kind card materials list adhesive (Scrapbook Adhesives by L) cardstock (Bazzill Basics) corrugated cardboard glitter (DecoArt) markers (Copic) paint (DecoArt) patterned paper (Pink Paislee; Sassafras) pens (Ranger Industries; Sakura) rhinestones (Queen & Co.) stamps (Hero Arts) tags (K&Company)

3 water marking Traditionally I create this watermarking technique with, well, water. Here, however, I used alcohol and acrylic paint for a much more dramatic effect.

4 w h a t y o u l l n e e d Heavy cardstock or chipboard Acrylic paint Foam brush Water 90 percent isopropyl alcohol Stamp (optional) Permanent ink (optional) 4 Paint the cardstock or chipboard base using a medium shade of acrylic paint and a foam brush. Allow the paint to dry. Dilute a lighter shade of acrylic paint with water. Do not make the paint too runny. Using a foam brush, add a layer of the diluted paint over the first layer of dry paint. While the paint is still wet, splash or drop alcohol over various areas of the project. The wet paint will begin to resist the alcohol. Allow to dry completely. 4 Optional: Stamp a background pattern with permanent ink over the alcohol design. This will create depth.

5 tone on tone When I was studying graphic design in school, one of my favorite projects was creating texture with a tone-on-tone design in white. I still love the subtle way light, using highlights and shadows, can create such interesting contrast and depth. I use color and pattern in this layout to illustrate how tone-on-tone design can convey texture. Adhesive foam squares are a must here! t h e m o m m a l a y o u t m a t e r i a l s l i s t adhesive (Scrapbook Adhesives by L) cardstock (Bazzill Basics; Core dinations) die cuts and machine (Making Memories; Slice) embossing folder and die-cut machine (Alterations by Tim Holtz, Sizzix) letters (American Crafts) paper punches (Fiskars) patterned paper ( Bugs in a Rug; Doodlebug Design; My Mind s Eye)

6 w h a t y o u l l n e e d Tone-on-tone patterned paper (at least 4 different patterns/colors) Scissors Adhesive Border punch Embossing folder Die-cut machine Paper punch Glue or foam squares Paper Weave Cut thin strips of tone-on-tone patterned paper. Weave strips together in a basketweave style. When the weave is of desired size, lift it up and apply adhesive to the backside of the weaved paper (not the background paper). Place the weave onto the adhesive and press gently. Trim any overlapping strips. Border Punch Using a border punch, create a number of strips of toneon-tone patterned paper. Layer them, one edging the next, on top of a larger piece of the same patterned paper. When you are comfortable with the positioning of the strips, apply them to the paper with adhesive.

7 Embossed Place a piece of cardstock cut to size and place it in an embossing folder. Run the embossing folder through a die-cutting machine. Release the paper from the embossing folder. Die Cuts Hand cut, die cut or punch shapes from tone-on-tone patterned paper. Decide where you want your die cuts placed on the patterned paper and glue or foam square the pieces in place. If you adhere any of the pieces with glue or double-sided adhesive, curl or bend edges of that piece to add dimensionality. Trim overhang.

8 beaded charm dangles Jewelry making and beading is one hot trend! I like to dabble in it a bit but I don t have the time to fully commit to a new craft. I find that making these dangle charms for my paper projects allows me to play with all of the beautiful beads I find at my local craft store. All you need is a few pairs of pliers and a few beading items and you are good to go! l o v e y o u c h a r m t a g m a t e r i a l s l i s t adhesive (Stix Kool Tak) beds bingo card (My Mind s Eye) butterfly embellishment (Michael s Stores) cardstock (Core dinations) charms jump rings paper punch (Fiskars) patterned paper (BoBunny) pliers (Making Memories) ribbon sticker (Creative Imaginations) tab (BasicGrey) tag (Maya Road) 9 9

9 First Option w h a t y o u l l n e e d Beads of your choice Head pins Round-nose pliers ( pairs) Wire cutters Jump rings 4 Add beads to a head pin. Using pliers, create a closed loop at the end of the pin and trim any excess wire with wire cutters. Using two pairs of pliers, open a jump ring. Pull one side of the jump ring toward you while pushing the other side away from you (do not simply pull the jump ring apart). 4 Add a dangle and loop the jump ring through the eye on the end on the pin. Close the jump ring. Second Option Add beads to a head pin. Using pliers, create a closed loop at the end of the pin. Use wire cutters to trim any extra wire. 0 0
