Clearsnap and a StencilGirl Hop

Here we are at Day 2 of the week long hop 
using StencilGirl stencils and Clearsnap products!

I chose a few colors of Smooch Pearlized Accent Inks 
and a Deep Grape color of ColorBox Spritzers Dye Ink Spray.

I spent an evening doing some marbling.
I had never done any marbling before 
so I read up on it online.
Anything you want to know is a keystroke away!
Isn't technology amazing?


I absolutely loved my results.
I had taken a variety of photo papers and watercolor papers
that came in a fine art sample pack from InkPress Digital Media
and quartered each sheet.



The smaller sheets of paper made it easier to handle in the marbling water.



Once everything was dry I savored each line and bump and texture!
So much fun to see all the varied results!
I wished I had ALL of the Smooch colors to play with!

And then to pick a stencil....

I am totally in love with the Rose Window Stencil by Lizzie Mayne.



I love the subtlety of the marbling underneath!
On some I used my Alcohol Ink Applicator and different Ink pads....
On others I actually colored in the different areas with markers


Isn't it exciting to see the texture?
Every one is different and unique!



I thought of ways I could use these little works of art....


Hmmmm...Let's cut them into business cards!





I've had this 'personalized name stamp' from Stampin' Up
with my name, phone number and blog address for quite awhile now....


PERFECT!


New business cards = my little works of art!


All righty then....
You all know the drill! 
This is a week long hop and there is a huge giveaway at the end of it...
Make sure you go to each blog on each day and leave a comment for more chances to win!

Here is today's line up...

Thanks to both the Clearsnap team and the StencilGirl team for some awesome projects!
What a great collaboration!


Happy Arting everyone!

      I googled it, Shanti, and it came up with MANY links. This is a good basic one featuring the smooch inks but check a bunch of them out. It is so super simple you will wonder why you didn't marble a long time ago!!!!

    Your unique and original cards are definitely going to make an impression when you hand them out! I thought the original sheets were pretty impressive and then when you cut them up they had even more of an impact to see each little window of colours and design. How creative to use them then to stamp on. Thank you for sharing your inspiration! :)

      Hi Barbara, There is a link in the post....but I ordered mine from my local Stampin' Up dealer...Ask around to see if anyone you know sells it or has a local consultant. Or order one online. I have seen similar products at my local Staples Store. That might be worth looking in to. Have Fun
