Tutu Tuesday, 5th November 2019!

Tutu Tuesday revisited....


This is a blog post from 27th October 2017 that I am revisiting.  I know, I've been a tad pre-occupied with pre-wedding events, helping out my Dad & sister and a few other things the Herbster and I have had going on.   I thought why not revisit this technique because it's a favourite of mine and I do like slightly 'different' Christmas cards that maybe no one's thought of doing.  I hope you like this...






Hello everyone!


This week I am using a technique that I've always loved and it's so easy.  I'm making more Christmas cards & this is such an quick technique too.   Basic supplies for this are acrylic blocks to suit the size you want to stamp, water in a spritzer, several coordinating ink pads & a nice tree stamp (edit: I used Lovely as a Tree stamp set but as it is now retired I've added a new card made this afternoon using the Winter Woods stamp set.  Both sets are/were so versatile! 


Here we go, first gather your supplies!

Remember, to have something covering your work area so you don't
accidentally wet the wrong thing.

FF@5'o'clock'ish, 25 October 2019!

Welcome to another fabulous Friday and yes, I did make it to 5'o'clock, am even!


I hope you like this little series of video clips and the creations made using my finished pieces.


NOTE:  It is wise to protect your work space with something non-porous like the teflon ironing mat I have used.  If you use sheets of grid paper, which is fine. But you will find with just one sheet, it soaks up all moisture and will be a bit of a mess.  It will also, if left on your pad of grid paper, buckle clean sheets underneath. Better to have something like the teflon mat. One, it doesn't let anything bleed through and two, it will withstand the heat from your heat gun as you dry your coloured pieces!
