Oil pastel cuttlebug & Faux watercolour (SU markers)

Photo Details

Poster: stampztoomuch

The background for this was SO fun to make. It uses a cuttlebug with oil pastels and gesso. The image was coloured using Stampin' Up! markers and an aquapainter. Maria's great video tutorial linked in the blog post & a Photo tutorial on my blog here:

http://melstampz.blogspot.com/2008/0...cuttlebug.html

For those who don't like blogs the directions are:

1) Cuttlebug your cardstock
2) Add oil pastels to raised areas
3) Gesso it & let dry
4) Sand off as much of the gesso as you like

Thanks so much for lookin'!
