using NO PLASTER!
the studio looked like a scientific experiment was taking place...
I had an idea...
which was based on the properties of the ingredients below...
they are dye inks, which are OIL based...
and
another dye ink,
but all the distress inks
are WATER based...
because it's white,
keep in mind that the picket fence spray stain
has pigment in the solution which makes it opaque...
so, just like salad dressing,
oil & water don't mix...
this was the basis for the idea...
I *hoped* to take advantage of that
incompatible (when wet ) effect...
I added one last ingredient...
the bottle on the far right is rubbing alcohol...
aka...surgical spirits in the UK...
it went like this...
I swiped the sky blue & hydrangea archival ink pads onto the craft sheet...
then added plenty of rubbing alcohol...
 |
| & mixed the alcohol into the inks with a palette knife... |
then after shaking the picket fence distress spray stain,
I misted the archival ink/alcohol solution with
ONE blast
of the picket fence distress spray stain...
one pump is plenty...
I tried 2...it was too much for a small tag...
but I would use more picket fence
for a larger art journal page or canvas...
***DO NOT MIX this SOLUTION***...
I swiped a manila tag into the inky solution...
the picket fence on top of the archival solution actually looked like curdled sour milk...
here's a wet not yet dry tag...
see those plaster chunks?
this is using tea rose archival ...
now back to the dry sky blue/hydrangea tag we started with...
the picket fence "curdled chunks" dried & have created awesome texture &
they now they look like...
splattered plaster!
you can not get this random cool effect with embossing powders, embossing pastes or texture paste...
it's very random and
much different in appearance...
now this is cool...
before you dry it, you can actually move the chunks or curdles around...
that's pretty fun...
they aren't stuck to the tag until it's dry...
when dry, the chunks are baked into the tag & permanent...
like this...
it was fun to work over that cool background...
I used watering can archival with
the new ruffles border to stamp along the bottom of the tag...
next, I wanted a thin border at the top of the tag...
after inking the ruffles stamp
again with watering can,
I pressed the tag onto the inked ruffles stamp...
I only wanted that small straight trim piece...
you can see that below...
I inked the old wood floor background stamp with tree branch & pressed it over the tag...
then used jet black to stamp the lace border at the top & bottom of the tag...
so far it looked like this...
sort of shabby chic!
I added sky blue, then hydrangea archival to the tag edges...
then gathered twigs to the edges & gathered twigs very lightly over the whole tag...
LOVE LOVE LOVE how this is looking...
now for the cute mat mini pitcher...
I inked the new stripes stamp with
pressed the pitcher onto the inked stamp, then sprinkled on watering can embossing powder...
and heated the powder to melt it...
you can see the embossed mat mini pitcher
sitting on the stamp...
to create the flowers
I glued a sheet of newsprint to a sheet of CFA (clearly for art) with glue n seal...
then stamped the hydrangea SiSi
with jet black 2 times and
cut out one full hydrangea image &
a partial of just the flowers...
the flowers were inked with sky blue & a bit of hydrangea & the leaves were inked with leaf green over all the leaves, then fern green right under the flower, to create the shadow effect...
the SiSi stencil makes this so easy...
it masks off the flower...
I heated the CFA to soften it so I could shape the flowers...
here's the back of the mat mini pitcher...
after the second layer is added to the back, the hydrangea stem slips right in the slot...
is the perfect way to add the flower layers...
and I also like to use the foam to add the flower to the tag...
it adds just the perfect dimension &
the black isn't distracting,
when viewed from the side...
here's the assembled flower...
I like to offset the layers...
it seems to make the flowers more realistic...
next I stamped the sentiment in jet black archival...
and glued my pitcher in place...
then slipped the flower stem into the pitcher...
the adhesive foam holds the hydrangea securely to the tag...
I wanted to add just a tiny bit of bling...
so after shaking the pewter distress stain, I tapped it onto the craft sheet & used
to add dots...
the ball end of the tool makes PERFECT dots...
you can tap the ball end onto the craft sheet into the stain or onto the wet dabber top & dot away...
and this tool is really great for adding rub ons to surfaces...
a MUST HAVE!
I also used the stain to accent the top & bottom of the tag...
I LOVE the mat mini pitcher, the texture & that hydrangea for sure...
I like to use the black Sakura glaze pen
to add dots to the flower centers...
and here's the completed tag...
this was so much fun that I couldn't quit...
I tried several other color combos & now I have some tag bases just waiting for me...
first I tried
tea rose & tree branch with picket fence...
here's the result...
here is the wet tag...
and here's the dry tag...
I just HAD to make another...
this time I tried
watering can & tree branch archival
with picket fence...
that combo made this great background...
so this experiment paid off...
I absolutely love this technique & I LOVE that we have another way to use the supplies we already have, in a completely different way...
it's fun to play & try ideas...
sometimes we just need to remember
that it's only ink & paper...
remember...
it's it's ugly...
it goes in the trash...
and you never tell a soul or blog about it...
haha!
so...
have I inspired you?
are YOU going to try it?
tell me...
what color combo are you thinking about?
***if you've read this far***
how about a giveaway?
does anyone want Megan & the ruffles border?
I have this stamp set, compliments of Ted...
for a lucky commenter...
just
leave a comment...
& Rick will choose a random winner...
I hope you can take time this weekend to have fun and...
make (splattered plaster) art!

1 – 200 of 222 Newer› Newest»How fun was that!! And beautiful as always. Want to try this one for sure. thanks for always thinking outside the box, Wendy!
You ALWAYS inspire me with your great tips and trix. Will for sure try this one BUT have to get some rubbing alcohol first AND distress spray. I only have the stain.
Have a lovely weekend and thanks for the chance to win such an awesome candy/Gunilla
I am off to Whim So Doodle today. Hopefully to get the new Tea Rose ink and Embossing Powder, which I love! I can't wait to try this technique!
Great effect ! It's always good to say "hmmm ... what if ...". Thanks for doing that & sharing the results !
Cool technique! Will try this as soon as I get some picket fence spray stain. I'm thinking cornflower blue and orange blossom would be a fun combo. Megan and the ruffle border need to come live with me. Thanks for the inspiration.
Incredible technique! Love your tags. I'm adding this to my Pinterest board to remind me to give it a try. Thanks for doing the experimenting for us!
I just love those backgrounds - they look so cool & the ruffles border made me think of a once grand but now tatty and abandoned Georgian manor house - just need to get hold of some surgical spirits now as I am definitely going to try this!! Thanks so much for experimenting and then sharing :o)
Love this idea! I'll definitely give it a try!
Fabulous technique. Can't wait to give it a try.
I love this technique. And cant wait to run it! Tge slot in the back of the watering can is genious!
That's a fab technique I gotta try it! And I'd love a chance to win the stamp set!!
That is so cool! What a great technique. I guess I need to get the spray stains after all...
What a great idea....just right to kick start the inspiration ;)
Love the quotes on the stamp set...just right for making something for the hero in my life :)
xoxo Sioux
This looks like fun! As soon as I clean off my desk (crafting with my grandkids :D) I'll have to give this a try.
You're awesome Wendy! I'm definitely going to give it a go! :D
That is so cool. Great tutorial. I need to try. Thanks a ton Wendy.
I LOVE this technique!! Such a cool effect. Can't wait to try it! And I would love to win something ;-)
Great technique - must give it a go. I fancy burnt orange and a green.
What a great look, and I love the tip of using the sakura glaze pens for the flower centers. I know Iwould be over the moon to have Molly as my new creativity friend!
Oh wow this looks fun. Seeing that I just had shoulder surgery and attempting to just survive using my left hand is an experience. I better put this technique on the back burner. I can just see my face covered in spray and trying to explain to my hubby what I did.
Really like this technique. I want to play but will need to purchase some ink pads and rubbing alcohol. Beautiful outcome. Thank you for sharing.
I love this technique! It is so beautiful. Thank you for continuing to teach us new ways to work with products we already have!
I love new techniques! This is amazing and I can't wait to play with this.
Oh Wendy, you never fail to come up with such new and clever ideas! Can't wait to give this a try in lots of colour options. I'm thinking a mix of Orange Blossom, Dandelion and Watering Can will have a look of warm Italian marble... that's my treat sorted after prepping at the weekend! Have a great one. Jenny x
What a fun technique! Thanks for sharing your experiment with us, I love seeing how products play together in our art!
Fantastic use of material!!! Thanks!!
This is so cool! Love your tag and can't wait to try the technique.
Wendy,you have such a unique artful eye which I find very refreshing! I really appreciate your style and talent!
what a great way to use products you already have on hand. it is fun to experiment sometimes you know the old saying: there are no mistakes in stamping just happy accidents!

I can't wait to own the tea rose ink and embossing powder.
What an awesome technique! My head is swimming with all the possible color combinations for this and I cannot wait to try it. Oh, and the hydrangea SiSi and flower pot are on my "just gotta have it" list. Gorgeous tag, inspired technique and clear instructions. It doesn't get better--thank you!
I love the effect, I'm thinking Tea dye/Antique Linen or Tattered Rose Spray Stains with Archival Leaf Green. Megan & her ruffles are more than welcome at mine!
I always love to see new uses for my inks and sprays! Great technique for many future projects. Love your products!
You are such an inspiration to give one the incentive to try out different and unusual ideas and methods. Thanks for taking the time to explain it all in such detail so that we can experiment. That stamp set would be awesome to have. Thanks for the chance to win it.

Oh, Miss Wendy-Girl! I am not leaving my house this weekend! I can feel a full blown obsession setting in! Every little bit of this tag is gorgeous! The smokiness of the background, the texture of the "plaster," the layered stamps, the flower, the vase, and those little black flower centers! Holy Cow! Fabulous!
What a great background! Can't wait to try it. And I love the rest of the tag. The stamp set is lovely.

It's about to snow on the east coast. I'm headed to my craft room to try your technique out. Maybe red geranium and magenta hue for a valentine themed tag. Love your products!
Love this tutorial. I'm leaning toward green/blue and some white or pewter, I think. Wish me luck trying this! Usually my first efforts are dreadful! But I do persevere. Thanks so very much for your ideas which keep us all going!
Looks like fun! Your tag is beautiful!
I just love it when someone creates a new technique using products I already have. Great tutorial!!!
Fab, must have a go :)
This is just fabulous - just finished watching you on youtube at CHA and am now in craft room trying out the many different and wondrous things that you showed! Who new metal could be made to look like enamel at home! And now you have topped it off with making plaster at home!!
Wendy, this is such a great technique. I can't wait to try it. I need to check my supplies to see what I have and jump right in. I need that Meagan set, that ruffle is so beautiful. Thanks for the great tutorial.

Love this technique! Can't wait to try it. Love this stamp set. Thank you for sharing!
Picket Fence Spray Stain has now jumped to the TOP of my shopping list. This technique is outrageous and gorgeous - sheer genius to come up with this idea, Wendy. Brava!
Wendy,
This technique is amazing. Will it work with other spray stains as well? Have you tried any others? I love it! Thank God for wonderful, artistic people like you!
~Corissa
OMG, this is so amazing. I love it. Can't wait to give it a whirl. AND, yes, I would love to win the giveaway. Thanks for the inspiration.
You think like a chemist! Not that I'm a chemist, but I'm married to one!
Great look and I will most definitely give it a try!
Fabulous technique. Thanks for sharing the instructions and photos (for us visual learners).
Wendy - your experiments turn into dynamic ideas. This is a great technique which I plan on playing with this weekend. Think I might try the orange blossom - amazing textures here I come! Thanks Wendy!
You are the mad scientist! You must have been a fun student to have in class (art or science, of course). I love your out-of-the-box techniques and can't wait to try this one. I love your other alcohol technique and use it often.
If this is even possible, I love an intentional "Happy Accident". Learning to not be so clean when I craft, this looks like a lot of fun and I will be making some tags with this technique. Thank you for putting a circle inside of a square so to speak. I LOVE IT!
Everything you released this time is wonderful but my favorite is Meagan!!! Your creativity is so incredibly inspiring!!! Everything you have made, including the painting using Dina's paints are beyond beautiful!!! Rick, besides picking me, will you please talk your lovely wife into coming back to Boiling Springs, NC? :-) We learned so much when she was here and had the BEST time. And please come, too. Heard so much about you; we would love to meet you!
I love the new technique and will definitely be giving it a try.I love the stamp set as well.
Gorgeous tag, love your plaster technique. Can't wait to give that a try. Thanks for the chance to win. Always love seeing all of your pretty creations.
I cannot wait to try this technique. Your tag is beautiful.
This is what art is all about...the ability to think what if....
What a beautiful finish you created. I can't wait to try it myself. Thanks for a chance to win the stamp set in addition to sharing your terrific ART!
thanks for all the tips - love this technique will be trying it out soon ... maybe this weekend!

Love all your work and ideas, but this one is out of this world. So impressed I am posting for the first time. Thanks so much -- you are an inspiration!
Love this technique Wendy! I'm going to try it out tomorrow!!!
Love it! Going to try right away!
i love all your archival ink colors so I'm going to try a bunch of combos. What a cool effect. Thanks for sharing your genius.
"Perfect. Just the way you are".
My husband has told me this so many times.....this just jumped off the page at me. Thanks, Wendy. Love the new stamps and techniques. Love your detailed, yet easy to understand instructions with clear, close-up pictures to match. Bravo!!
Love the simplicity of this technique and the amazing result. The ruffle stamp is a must-have! So hmmm. What colours am I thinking? Watering can and cornflower for the background.
Going to try this first thing tomorrow am!!
Love the technique. It put a huge amount of ideas in my head to try.
Oh my God Wendy! That is so cool! I just tried it and I am totally flabbergasted. Discombobulated, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, I'm speechless I just can't come up with enough adjectives. This is incredible.I used French ultramarine and hydrangea and it created the most incredible shade of blue with the picket friends sprayed on it and I want this on every wall in my house. I can't wait to try other colors and color combinations. I don't think I'll ever get tired of figuring out color combinations to try! You are the bomb!matter-of-fact, I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight. It's midnight in Connecticut, and I don't think I'm going to go to sleep I'm so excited. Oh my gosh.
I adore this stamp set and would feel very privileged to win your generous give away. I'm loving the the new technique and will try it tomorrow.

Thank you.

That is such a cool effect, the ironing is going to have to wait another day - again!
Hi
Yep I always read to the end of your very inspirational and clever blog posts. I always learn so much and just love giving your techniques a go. Thank you for all your great ideas and inspiration x
That is awesome!! I love your tags and I will definitely be giving this a try. I don't have the spray but time for some good old experimenting. I live in the boonies up here so making do is what I do. LOL! I would also be beyond thrilled to make a nice new home for that gorgeous stamp set too!
This technique is absolutely genius Wendy, just love the plaster effect. Must try this, am thinking of pink and purple as I'm a bright colour person. Would love to give Megan a home and I adore the border stamp, it's so delicate looking.
Your techniques are fab and you have taught me to have a go and experiment, I now have some tags cut and will just play and see what happens, thank you x
I love the tea rose and tree branch tag colors. This is going to be fun to try. Think I am going to have to buy more ink. Your tag is beautiful. Love the colors and idea!!!
I love this technique and the results are great. I'm thinking of having a look at my stash and seeing if I have violet and yellow dye inks to try with the picket fence.
At least I'll have fun experimenting.
WOW Wendy... this technique is awesome and I really appreciate you sharing this because I have tons of inky supplies but never know what to do with any of them. I'm one of those who struggle with what to do. Your finished tag is absolutely DIVINE! I LOVE it! And I really like how the other tags came out after trying other inks. Just beautiful! Thanks so much for your creativity and the inspiration!
Hugs,

I can't wait to try this in my art journal and make a few tags.
What a fun background and love the ruffle and lace border.

Thank you for sharing the best technique I have seen in years. I know how I'm spending my weekend. YOU ARE AMAZING...
What a great technique! I can't wait to try the plaster effect. Thank you for the chance to win the stamp set. Love your art!
Thank you 😀😀😀😀 love this techniqe, its so FUN 😍😍👍👍
I LOVE this technique!! It is so awesome!!!! I am going to try it today....and as for the ruffle stamp? I would LOVE to win that!!!! Thanks for the chance.
Amazing technique. Must be that chemistry you took years ago. As I was watching the tag come together I just knew it was going to be amazing. Thanks for a new play thing!
You have the best ideas, Wendy! Don't know how you think them up but I love them. Keep up the good work. Now I have to go and try this!
Who would ever think that spraying inks on a mat, then alcohol, then swipe the paper through, what looks like a complete mess, would turn out so fantastic. Great ideas flow through your brain and down to your fingertips! I really like this technique Wendy and thanks for sharing.

Awesome! You make it look sooo easy!
I love the tag, but especially before stamping, etc. what a great background. Would like to try it using pen over it instead of stamping. It would make a great journaling tag.
Looks like fun, and the finished results are beautiful. I think I need to try it!
I just love it when new ideas are born and yours is a winner!
*thud* this is AWESOME! Can I come and sit next to you and maybe just touch your arm for a few hours, I mean seconds, then maybe some of your brilliance will soak through into me? Stalkerish? Um... yesh! LOVE this Wendy.. you ROCK!!!

Wendy, you are such an inspiration! I love your ART! Thank you for this opportunity to make my ART!!
What a great experiment!!! I love the texture you achieved! I'm still slowly adding your archival inks but might give this a try once I have some good color conmbos.
what great result! i can't leave a long comment because in my excitement I have to go and try this out too! thank you for sharing!
I wish I could get inside your head during one of your creative play sessions, Wendy. You are such inspiration to so many people!
I would like to see what Tea Rose and Leaf Green or Tea Rose and Fern Green look like with the picket fence. I ran out of the picket fence spray, so it'll be a little while before I can try it. And, I am now in love with your ruffled border stamp. Gotta have it!!!
Love this!! Always love techniques with supplies I already have! Thanks, Wendy!!!!

WOW, Wendy!! That does look like a rustic plaster! That's amazing!! I love learning new background techniques!! Can't wait to try this one out!! XOXO-Shari
Wow great tutorial I'm really gonna I give this a go. Love the finished product too. You really do think outside of the box which is very inspiring
Great ideas - love the way you did the flowers - reminds me a bit of doing paper tole - definitely adds more dimension and they don't look just layered.

Oh Wendy I love your plaster technique!! Fantastic look!
Geeeeeorgeous. I love that ruffles stamp. That would be awesome to use on some square shrines to make curtains for a stage piece. I'd love to win it but if I don't I'm gonna have to start saving my pennies for that set, and Megan is just super Hot.
yes i will try that! Great background idea. Let's play...:-)
I'm looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks for sharing these ingredients and wonderful technique and how to do this.
Gorgeous!!
I love this technique Wendy! Looks like soft clouds floating in the background and your yags are so pretty :-) Thanks for the chance to win
The technique is marvelous. i don't have any of the sprays yet but I definitely want to get it and try! I need more archival colors too! Love this idea!
Love the splattered plaster technique....and of course your stamps as well!!!
Wendy you always do come up with such amazing techniques to try. SPLATTERED PLASTER.....lol... Love that words and the technique. Gosh it looks awesome ! Only "problem" is that I dont have the white Picket Fence distress stain spray ( yet ). But seems as if I NEED it ASAP....lol.. This look you achieved is looking so different yet exciting. NEED to try that.
Thanks for the give-away. Would love to win allthough I cant mention a fave color combo...
