Eiffel Tower Book Mark!

Ebrush Design Team: Terri Sproul Week 7 Cycle 1

I love this beautiful book mark. I would be dreaming of that far away place every time I saw it. Terri thank you for sharing this lovely creation!

I just love all the way I can use my Ebrush from Craftwell

Here is my latest project made using my Ebrush from Craftwell

by Terri Sproul

Always looking for a way to mark my pages on my books, I used posted notes, trash, or anything I can get my hands on. Well today that all changes, I'm making myself a bookmark.

I started by cutting a piece of Evolon Plastic Paper from Atlantic Papers about the size I think would work for most of my books. I added color using by Ebrush by Craftwell and Spectrum Noir Markers.

Started with a Soft Yellow, then Orange and ended with Red

Love the way the color blends with my Ebrush, I can make it look amazing. I find it super easy to do.

I love the Eiffel Tower and when I got this amazing stencil from Crafter's Companion, I was in LOVE,

I Sprayed the stencil with Black Specium Noir and just love the way it looks.

Added the word Read using Black India Inks

Also added a hole and brad to the top with a little ribbon

Done

Mixed Media Mini Album

Ebrush Design Team: Peggy Oliver Week 6 Cycle 1

Peggy Oliver Starts us off with a cool mini album. She is using a great "Plastic" paper from Atlantic Papers with her eBrush! Beautiful!

Hello! Peggy here to show you how I used my eBrush to help me creare this mini album cover.

Todays supplies used:

Craftwellusa eBrush

Atlantic Paper Evolon 168gm

Chipboard covers

Spectrum Noir Markers

Gesso

Molding Paste

Crafters Companion Stencils

Homemade Stencil

DCWV cardstock

heat gun

I started with a blank two piece front and back chipboard cover.

I desided since the Atlantic Paper was tear proof I would use it to cover the entire Mini album including the spine. I would create the inside pages with cardstock last.

Next with the Eiffel Tower stencil. I gave the stencil a thin later of molding paste. I dried this with my heat tool and placed my stencil in the same position on top of the molding paste to give it some color with my eBrush. Using my trigger gently I was able to get the effect I was looking for with little effort.

I cut up some patterened paper and randomly glued pieces on the front. I gave this a wash with watered down gesso to tone it down a bit. Next I brought out the stencils again this time City trees for the back cover. Using my eBrush and Spectrum Noir markers I sprayed my trees and building. And again with torn paper randomly placed.

I once again placed my stencil back on the original sprayed image to give a two toned effect. I also pulled out a homemade stencil and molding paste leaving random dots.

Another stencil called The big apple helped to fill in space. I eBrushed again with Spectrum Noir markers also using a second layer of color for dimension.

I fussy cut images from designer paper and glued them in place.

Next I created pages from heavy cardstock creating my own envelope style page with pockets.

All done...

That's all for today! I hope you enjoyed my mixed media mini album covers.

I encourge you to try our must have crafting tool the Craftwell USA eBrush. I had a fabulous time with different mediums on this versitile Evolon paper! Great stuff!
