Exploring Image Transfers: Transparencies

In this third article in my series on image transfers, you'll find one of my all time favorite projects. I've admitted it before. I'm a dollar store junkie. When the canvas placemat found its way into my cart, I justified my "habit" with the knowledge that there are far worse addictions. Little did I dream that this purchase would become a treasured documentation of a vacation memory. With minimal sewing, a cute little tote was the result.



Here's the same process applied to the fabric card front. Another great photo - another great memory. An added bonus is the simplicity of the supplies: Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium Gloss and Extra Time Slow-Dry Medium.



You'll find the details for this process and these projects on pages 88 - 89 of the June 2011 issue of Crafts 'n things.

Better Backgrounds: A Twist on Bleach

I've always enjoyed working with bleach and never cease to be amazed at how two pieces of identical looking cardstock can produce completely different results. There's magic in the technique!
In these two cards, the magic was enhanced with the new Jenni Bowlin dye inks and Claudine Hellmuth's Studio Extra Time. You'll find all the details here in this April 2011 Crafts 'n things® bonus on-line project.
