Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap

It's really hard to believe we are on the last day of the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges! I have been having a blast and learning all sorts of new things, and I hope you've had a chance to play along.

My first challenge for the week was a very clean challenge, so I decided we'd get dirtier and dirtier as the week went on. 

Now I can't tell you what my challenge is - you can find it here if you're a Fan Club member- but I can tell you what technique I used. 

I've heard about this technique for many years but never tried it until now, and I am HOOKED. 

It's a very cool way to make stunning backgrounds, and to recycle. And I know you're all... "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but two videos in one week, maybe?"

And to that I say yes! I have a video for you!

Can you guess what these pretty strips of paper are made out of? I'll give you three guesses while you peruse....

Paper: Whisper White, National Geographic

Stamps: Full of blessings

Ink: Early Espresso

Accessories: Linen Thread, Citra Solv, Foam Paintbrush, Tombow Multi Glue




It's a National Geographic magazine! I bought mine for $1 at Half Price books, found the Citra Solv at Central Market and I went to work!

To see my other card with this technique - head over to Project Reanimate!

To learn to do it yourself, watch the following Citra Solv Magic video!
