Hi everyone!!
Wish you all a very very Happy New Year!!I´m back after spending a week in beautiful sunny Canary islands.
My first post for this year and I´m so excited to share that I have been invited as a Guest Designer at ICR( Indian Craft Room) as I was one of the Top 3 in ICR12.
To play at ICR this month you can create a card for any ocassion, any colour combo you want but with a twist that it has to be clean, simple with lot of open space and can be easily mass produced.
I came up with this quick and easy card.
I have used marbling technique directly on the card blank.In order to clearly define the focal point and the open space I did masking on the top and bottom of the card.
Keeping up my promise with Tejal I have tried to come up with the tutorial.
For marbling on paper you require your choice of 3 to 4 marbling colours,Plastic box/ Tray, Water,Paper or card blank.
For this card I have used Gold, Magenta and Ruby Red from C.Kreul.You can use any brand available in your area.
Photos are not very clear because weather here is very gloomy :(
Fill a deep tray with water
Drop paint onto the surface of the water
Rake into patterns. Eg.I added few golden paint drops and when it got spread I added Magenta in the centre and then Red.You can create any way you want.
I just wanted a marbling band in the middle of the card blank so I covered the rest of the space using "post it" This was a challenge for me to do direct on the card blank because I normally do marbeling on white paper to create my own patterned paper.
Then dip a sheet of Paper / Card blank into the tray and take it out immediately when you are sure that paper and marble paint on the water are in contact .
Allow the marble patterns to dry and then take out the post it .Simple isn´t it?
I added some heart embellishments and sentiments.
Thanks for stopping by! I would love to hear comments on it since it was my first try to make the tutorial.
Thanks Tejal for all your encouragement.
I´m also entering this card in this week´s Wee Memories challenge to use any new technique or anything new.
I did masking along with marbling and this was new for me to try.
Cheers
Archana

So beautiful and your tutorial is very good too.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! This is so so awesome!!! Absolutely simple but as you say its a challenge to do it straight on the card...It looks amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this with us!!
p.s. When you said marbling, I was imagining marbles rolling around in a box!! :D
A quick question...the colors - are they specific for this technique or can you use poster paints or need they be acrylic paints? That's going to be the most common query..hence asking.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Archana and COngrats on your DT post
ReplyDeleteWish you a Happy and Creative New Year
Cheers

Thanks all.@ Tejal: I use Hobby line magic marble colours and they are used for this technique only.I´m not sure about poster paints but I guess any colour which can float on water(oil based)can be used.
ReplyDeletehere is the link of colours i use:
