VIDEO: Faux Chine Collé Technique - Splitcoaststampers MIX-Ability Challenge

I was so excited to see last week's Mix-Ability challenge at Splitcoast, for two reasons: 1) It was based on a classical art technique, which is a fave of mine - adapting art techniques to stamping and 2) I had to figure out how to adapt it my own way. Janelle came up with the idea and I deliberately didn't look at anyone's process so I could see if I could figure it out my own way. So after I publish this, I'm going to go watch everyone else's!

Chine collé is a combo printing and collage technique that gives you both spot color AND texture from a thing layer of tissue. So when you are done with the card, it's a fun card to pet and feel all the texture on - much more than just color, which you could just get with a marker.

I chose to "paint" with tissue paper in a process you'll see in the video. Here are the things I used:

• Floral Background Stamp • Collage medium • Alphabet Dies • Colored Tissue Paper Assortment

I've been gardening like a FOOL this week, so this stamp was the perfect one to use to reflect what's going on in my yard (and in my joints LOL). After I get my taxes done, I'm going to sketch out what I planted where, because those little plant markers never stick around for long. This will help me learn what will survive our hot summers, drought or floods etc. I ONLY use perennial natives that can survive extremes, so I try different things in different years. I'll post a pic of my sketch when I'm done. 

Anyway - here's the video - enjoy! If you play along with the challenge, upload your cards to Splitcoast or tag us on Instagram, and use keyword MIX532.

Loveyameanitbye.
