A couple of years ago I created this card for a challenge. I loved the way the hot glue created dimension and interest. You can check out that post here.
After being asked to be a guest tutorial author for SCS I played around some more with my hot glue gun and came up with a few more ways of creating designs with the glue.
Tip - Try out different ways of working with the glue, using different embossing powders and different combinations of re-inkers on scrap paper.
For the card above I sprinkled gold glitter about 3/4 of the way through heat embossing, unfortunately you can't really see it in this photo (did not have proper lighting for this shot), but it does give a wonderful effect. The art panel on this card was made by the drizzling the glue. When you add the re-inkers the colours tend to stay within the confines of the pattern spaces.
Here are a few more sample panels that have yet to be made into cards.
Supplies: Watercolour paper, hot glue, embossing powder, re-inkers
Just saw this on Splitcoast - stunning! Like miniature pieces of art!

ReplyDeleteHi there Connie, I wanted to say how thrilled I was to find a crafter living so close to me....haha Next, I wanted to let you know how lovely these little pieces of Art Work are. I was it on SCS, and knew I'd have to say hello to you because we are practically neighbour's.... Smiles I would love to have you visit me at www.stampinribbons.blogspot.com any time. Once again, your cards are absolutely gorgeous. Love your Blog as well.....
ReplyDeleteI love this technique! I can't wait to try it! I've never seen anything like this before. Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteWow! I love this technique and can't wait to try it. Your samples are amazing and your tutorial is fabulous. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love your tutorial and art! Just was it on SCS. Really awesome directions. Can't wait to try it. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteI saw your tutorial over at SCS and thought it was an great idea. I'm going to try this technique on a much large scale---a canvas using acrylic paint and ink. Seems to me I'll be able to create an awesome abstract piece of art and I can't wait to try it. Thanks so much for the great inspiration!
