Happy Monday Everyone!
I'm so excited to be sharing this technique with everyone. I've had several emails from my sneak peekers telling me just how much fun it was to play with this technique and how easy it is!
Here I'm sharing how to create texture with caulking. It's become one of my favorite craft products because it's cheap, paintable and colorable (hmmm....is that even a word? - let's make it one!)
Using Spellbinders basic circle shape dies makes it easy to create this flower page.
So have fun, leave me a comment and let me know what you'd like to see in future videos.

Continuing
in our art journal journey, today I focus on textures and creating
textures. Textures can add a lot of
visual interest to your artwork and there are many ways to accomplish
this. Textures can be made with paper,
stamps, patterns, but of course I like to think outside the box and Explore
Beyond™ and use something that isn’t normally used – bathroom caulk! Once you try this technique I know you’ll be
thinking of more ways to use caulking in your projects. So have fun and give yourself time for
creative play!

supplies: miscellaneous rubber stamps,
ink, old credit card and any other object that would make a nice texture such
as foam stamps made from expandable patterns
Tip: Create your own foam texture and pattern
stamps from Expandable patterns dies – click here for the video.
Apply
a generous amount of caulk to paper. Mix
in paint color of choice. Use credit card to spread the caulk to the entire
surface of the paper. Draw in textures,
such as circles and squiggly lines.
Allow to dry. Create several sheets
of different colors and textures so that you have a variety to use.
Cut
out circles in graduating sizes from the Standard Circles die template set
using the Grand Calibur® machine.
Cut
out three #3 (with 1 being the smallest) triangles from the Triangles 1 die
template set.
To
create the background, water down acrylic paint and apply to the paper. Add spatters of paint color to give
interesting texture. You can also use
foam stamps and apply additional dimensional texture to the background with caulking. Allow to dry.
Stack
circles and glue. Arrange elements onto
background as desired and glue.
Cut
out phrase and glue to page.
Outline
and doodle with markers to finish.
