Easily my favorite transfer method from Courtney Cerruti's class (Creativebug), was the solvent method. In the above card, I used a black and white copy of the little girl (see photos below) and then transferred it onto my inked cardstock (Tim Holtz distress in Faded Jeans and Scattered Straw). I used a pink pencil to color in her bathing suit and then stamped the greeting. The best thing about this method is I can copy the photo and transfer it as many times as I want - the sky is the limit!
The photos of the little girl were found in a flea market. They are a set that I purchased of the same girl from the 1950's. I think one of her parents was a very good photographer because her photos are so lovely. I am looking forward to incorporating these images into more of my art.
Here are some of the photos that I used for image transfer.
Looks great! Yeah, solvent really works well but I steer clear of it because of the fumes and toxin issues (I was using Xylene).
ReplyDeleteUh oh! I better check the Chartpak pen I was using. I am glad you told me that. Another task for the outdoors. Thank you for the 'heads up'!
