What's your favorite technique?

We're on a roll, thanks to Alison, so lets keep it going.

I tried a "new to me" technique last week that I'd been wanting to try ever
since hearing about it. Using a rose bud stamp, I stamped on an oval piece
of paper, antiqued it and used several layers of EP then did the cracked
glass technique and put it on a card that I had stamped a rose background
on. I just love that technique. It was so elegant and not very hard to do.

What's your favorite technique?

Thanks for adding to the fun, SAD!

It makes a mess, but I really do love "polished stone".

I haven't done it in ages, but I still have a piece on my office door from
my days of stained glass image on acetate, painted from behind in
pearlescent, metalic, and glitter fingernail polishes!

And, I am always enchanted with watercoloring using Twinkling H2O's!

I saw the polished stone technique done at a convention last year, it looked
gorgeous. I bought four sets of the alcohol inks but haven't had the nerve
to try it. I think I need some hands on help. If someone is demonstrating
it at the convention in October I'll ask for help.

I have a lot of Twinkling H20's but haven't played with those either. I
love the look of them on flowers. Guess I need an adventuresome playmate.
Why do I buy things and never use them? Is there a SA "stampers anonymous"
group out there? LOL.

okay so I think that my favorite technique is the chalk pencils. I
absolutely love them, you can just draw around say a skirt and then I
take a q-tip and blend it in. It so nice as you don't have all that
smearing or smudging going on and you don't have to worry about it
rubbing off.

I must have all 4 sets of the chalk pencils. Has anyone else tried
them?

I've never heard of them. Where do you buy them?

in pencil form just seems **brilliant**... must look out for these!

Thanks, Missy!

Hi Allison,

They are the General Chalk pencils, I got mine from TAC. At the time
my demo offered them buy 3 get one free so of course I had to buy them
then. I have used them at all of my workshops and practicaly each and
every person purchases a pack. The cool thing about them is, say you
outline something and then you blend it, usually you want the outside
to be a little darker then the inside and well it is just that easy to
do. Most importantly, no mess. You see I love something that is just
that easy. )

Inky Huggz,

I have to have those! Am going to call my friend right now, she has a TAC
catalog. Guess I should check in my SU catalog first since I'm a demo for
them...nope they don't have them. Thanks for the information.
