YIPPEE...we're about to head out to Midway...I LOVE that airport...
they have a LIFE IS GOOD STORE = shop!
Here's a VERY QUICKIE tutorial...
this will take you like 5 minutes or LESS!
guaranteed...
Die cut MY NEW "clearly for art" using tim's alterations Sizzix tattered leaves die...
Use Ranger's jet black archival to stamp one side...
DRY with the heat-it tool...
make sure to work on your non stick craft sheet...
Use alcohol inks with the alcohol ink applicator & felt...
on the OPPOSITE side of the leaves to color them...
archival ink removes alcohol ink...
but that's a technique for another day...
heat the "clearly for art" to soften...
shape...
bend...
make them dimensional...
TADA!!
These guys will be tied with twine to a jar candle for a quickie gift...
keep in mind that if you don't like the colors, alcohol blending solution will remove them & you can start all over...
The blending solution will also remove the archival ink, if you have a stamping oops...
The BEST thing about the "clearly for art" is that it can be reheated & reshaped multiple times...
until you are PERFECTLY happy with it...
AND...
it's rock solid...
very sturdy...doesn't chip or break...
it's simple, fun & fool proof...
More ideas to share next week...
Stay tuned...
until then...
make art... I WILL!
wendy
PS...I'm EXPECTING "clearly for art" to ship soon...
Believe me...I'll yell it from the roof top when it does...
or just post it here...

Beautiful leaves, but (sobs) I don't have your "clearly for art" yet as it hasn't hit the uk. sob!!
Have a great weekend, look forward to some more lovely art next week (Hopefully with things I can use, lol!!)
LOVE this! LOVE IT!!!! Off to find where I can buy "clearly" 'cause I HAVE to have some!
Have a wonderful time in Buffalo!!
Mine arrived from Stampers Anonymous earlier this week!!!! Love these leaves...and I don't have to rake them! LOL
Hi Wendy -
Love the leaves. Just "another" item I am waiting to be released, like the Art Parts. I am especially dying to get my hands on your spools (your chipboard ones I mean) - LOL!
Have fun in Buffalo!

That clearly for Art looks super cool! TFS!
Wow those leaves are stunning! Need to place an order! I got my book and so far it is great. Need to read and then order some stuff.
I can't wait to get my sticky fingers on this new product. The idea of it not breaking is a massive selling point.
Luv Joanne xx
Fabulous. I can't wait to get those leaf dies in my hands.
I can't wait to try this myself. I just purchased your "art parts" and "clearly for art" at my favorite stampers store, The Cottage Stamper in St. Charles, Illinois. I will definitely be trying this technique today with the tattered flowers (sadly, I haven't gotten the tattered leaves yet) but I'm sure the flowers will look sensational! At this point they don't carry your book, so will email you my order. Have a wonderful weekend!
