OT: Technique using Peel Off Stickers

Hi folks,



Have been playing a little today and have made a simple card using Peel Off Stickers, which I have put in my webshots, under Cards and Other projects. Since I used outline stickers and you can chalk, add glitter glue or 3D puff paint to them I thought I would try something else using the cut-out bits left on the backing sheet. Here in the UK we use permanent Overhead Projector Pens to colour peel off message stickers to match your work. Here is how I managed to make this card:



Using two identical peel off stickers I placed one on a piece of yellow vellum, but it could have been card, acetate, whatever! On the other peel off, I coloured in the leaves and the petals of the flower using the OHP pens. Once they dried (couple of minutes) I used a pricking tool and long nose tweezers to pick out the cutout bits and position them on the gold sticker. I could have taken it much further doing the stained glass effect but this was just a test. I mounted the vellum on a piece of rainbow paper and then on a yellow card. I think it will make a pretty Thank You card to lay aside :o) Just thought some of you may want to give this a try. They other sticker I will colour over with the OHP pens and use on another card.


Marilyn, this is AWSOME. I've used this type of stickers with my Girl Scout troop on clear glass ornaments. I never would have thought of this technique for SB. Thank you! I just love learning knew techniques.

Now I'm going have go looking for stickers just to make for embellishments to have on hand! Ohhh! Snowmen with opaque glitter would be adorable. This is something so simple, by 10 & 6 year old could do it. 0o-oo-oo!!I see some rainy day art projects in my future that will be recycled into embellishments for the kids ablums!!

Marilyn, you just got stamped with ENABLER across your forehead. Shame on you!!

:-)

Take care!

LOL.......Amy......I have the other sticker that was coloured sitting on another piece of card, filled in with.....guess what....glitter glue!!!! Very pretty!! I have also done a butterfly and added it to the card using the same method and Magic Tape to lift the bits from the backing sheet. It misses some but you get most of it in one hit, then just pick up the stray few ones :o)

It looks pretty! If I want colour or a stained-glass effect with peely stickers I just colour in the spaces with my glitter gelpens - any ink that gets onto the sticker itself just rubs off with a fingertip. Then I can use the inside bits for an entirely different card and get two for the price of one!

Yeah...I have done the gel pens and glitter glue...this is just different way of using all the peel off.

Thank you Melissa. Marilyn :o)

That's a gorgeous card Marilyn! Whatever will you think of next? I'm not a sticker person, but I just might have to try this sometime.

I don't use a lot of stickers either but I bought many of these when I started out card-making. They are more popular in that area but I prefer rubber stamps. However, I saw something similar being done with large holographic outline stickers. They were two different colours and you just swapped them bits from one to the other. I think this is more delicate than the glitzy ones but "whatever floats your boat" as they say.....LOL I just like to try different things out and see where it leads. I spent a pleasant afternoon making a couple of cards for my stash! Next person who needs a Thank You may just get that one....LOL

Marilyn

The card looks great!! Very pretty! Thanks for sharing.

Great idea for sticker use. The card is beautiful.
