TLC503 ~ Pencil Erasers ~ {10/13/14}

[StampingQueenJAR]

It's my turn to host our Technique Challenge this second week of October. WOW! If you are like me, you are wondering where summer went -- and now November is almost here! I feel like 2014 is flying at breakneck speed.


Everyone that goes to school is back in school, so it's time to pull out our school supplies -- namely, ERASERS! We all know that erasers can take away things, but we are going to ADD something to our creations with erasers this week!

Your challenge this week is to use an ERASER to add something to your stamped projects. Use them to make a design, background (i.e. dots, bricks), texture, part of an image, carve/emboss/make your own image, make letters, whatever you can think of!

My sample: Long Time, No Sea!
I used a regular pencil eraser to make my sea bubbles/waves using dye inks on glossy cardstock.

Fun challenge! Just thought I would share this pencil eraser idea...I haven't done it, but I saw a lady at the fair selling something like this one time...Photojojo ?'s Tumblr ? Genius DIY idea from artist Matt Whitwell: Carve...

Fun challenge for today. I had to use my mechanical pencil...every time I inked up the eraser the lead came out the other end. When I was done I had to break it off and reinsert it...lol!

Awesome challenge Judy! Here's mine: Just a Note

Hello Judy - I used my pencil eraser to color my dies - which worked better than using my sponge daubers as the erasers are smaller and get in to the tiny spaces easier - go figure!!
