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.

Glad you liked the card Judy :o) There is no point in making them if you are going to keep them all for yourself......LOL Sharing is the name of the game......ROFL

Thanks M-C....I enjoy doing all sorts of different things. Usually I have several projects all going at the same time. I am stuck at the minute though with my Star Book for my Finnish friend! Got adventurous and made a seven page book. now I have run out of ideas to fill the last couple of pages....LOL Since it is a keepsake of her Scottish trip I may just give her a couple of journaling tags and paperclip a slip saying...."Left these blank so you can write some thoughts on your trip".....Guess that would work :o)

Thanks Linda......hope you have a couple the same to try it out. I thought it was more delicate that gel pens of glitter. If you are careful colouring the outline sticker with the OHP pens, when you are finished all you have to do is use that sticker on a card. The petal, leaf & stem outlines were softly coloured. I bet this one would also look nice coloured with chalk......oh...oh...another technique to try. I used flowers but I am thinking this would be attractive with almost any......butterflies, fairies, baby stickers.
