TLC647 ~ DIY Plaid ~ {07/17/2017}

[Cook22]

Happy Monday, everybody!!
Here's a fun and easy technique which was featured in the Weekly Inkling back in the summer of 2016, but which still hasn't made it into the TLC challenge. There's a fabulous TUTORIAL in our Resources section by ruby-heartedmom (Beverly) - and if that doesn't inspire you already, check out the Plaid Backgrounds Gallery for some more inspiration. Then get our your markers and play. Great technique for fun summer backgrounds; equally cool for those working ahead towards Christmas .
I found the tip to practice first was great!
I'd love to have had enough chisel tip markers to try with this technique, but I had to make do with Marvy LePlumes held at a very shallow angle to get a wide line.





Here's a link to our TLC647 DIY PLAID gallery

This was fun! I have tried to make Plaid before and did not like how it turned out, but this time I do!

Finally made a plaid panel - not that easy to be artistic with this technique of placing the lines and the right colors.
