Hey peeps! I have an oldie but a goodie video for you today! It's a technique that I love every time I do it, and I tend to forget about it.
I also have a Patreon update and a streaming update for you. Starting during the pandemic shutdown in March of 2020, I opened a new Facebook group and started doing daily lives with various techniques, and I continue to do lives 3X/week - they are so much fun. But I'm going to make some changes you should know about. First - if you never joined the lives because you are not on FB, I'm moving them to YouTube only. On my streaming platform, the comments weren't all in one place and that could make the conversations among the group a little confusing.
Second, I'm moving two aspects of these lives to Patreon - All replay views will be moved to Patreon, as well as the very valuable database I built for all these lives. So anyone can watch the lives, but once they are done, the videos will move to Patreon. The database contains 600 live videos, all filterable by type - so if you just want gel printing videos, you can filter for that. Same with stencils, coloring, etc. Also, if an edited version of the live exists, there's a link to that as well. It's a great resource! If you appreciate all the free content I provide already, I hope these tools are worth a few dollars per month. I also have a cooking tier on Patreon!
So onto today's technique, which I did on one of my lives. It's one borrowed from quilting, which you've seen from me a lot lately - no clue why I'm in my quilting phase. The cool thing about this is there are almost an endless number of ways to do it and it's SUPER easy - it's the Bargello technique.
For this card, I used strips of this sort of vintage paper pad mixed with the black from this paper pad. I REALLY recommend using adhesive sheets for this technique. It goes very fast - this is one instance where I do not recommend glue. It didn't start out to be a Christmas card, but when I was done I thought it felt like the holidays so I added this sentiment.
I used a different pattern for the second card, which you'll see in the video. The papers are the same and the sentiment is from the same set.
Here's the video:
Hope you have a great weekend ahead! Loveyameanitbye.
