Rubber Stamping Technique – Sliced Rock – Guneaux Designs

I was playing around with my Stampin’ Up! rubber stamp supplies recently and developed a rubber stamping technique that I call the Sliced Rock Technique.  The rubber stamping technique is demonstrated in the video below.

I’m sure you’ve seen how beautiful sliced rock can be with various patterns and colors.  I think the most beautiful ones have a center pattern that is repeated in the outer layers in varying colors.  You can find images of sliced rock here, if interested.

I call this rubber stamping technique , Unpolished Sliced Rock Technique.  I used one of the floral stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Fabulous Florets Stamp Set for my center image.  I covered the stamp with VersaMark and stamped it in the center of my piece of Watercolor Paper.  I then used White Embossing Powder over the image and set it with a heat gun.  Using my Aqua Painter and several blue inks, I water colored the floral pattern in layers around the center piece, the flower.  Here is the card I made with a similar image.

Direct to Paper Technique

Did everyone has a good Memorial Day remembering the holiday’s real purpose?  I don’t know how you feel, but I don’t like the commercialization of this holiday.
I’ll not get on my soap box and move on.  I decided for my project share today to try for the first time the Direct to Paper Technique where you use a swiping motion with stamp pads or spots to apply ink to card stock.  It really was quite simple.  Again, this was my first try, so don’t be too hard on me! (lol)

 I used a Getting Started Collection of Classic Stampin’ Spots (119979) to apply Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Early Espresso, and Pumpkin Pie inks.  To my knowledge, there are no special tricks to this technique ~ it’s a form of art for which you decide how to use.
 
I added the expired Sale-A-Bration Everyday Enchantment Organdy Calypso Coral Ribbon at the bottom of the card.  The sentiment, enjoy, is from the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set (120501) and it was applied to Whisper White card stock with Calypso Coral ink.  I used one of the new Bitty Banners Framelits (129267) to create the sentiment.  And the wonderful stamp set that I hate to see go, Plant Hope (117042) was used for the tree images.  This Thursday, May 31, is the last day to buy this stamp set.  Enjoy!
God’s Blessings!
