KAISER FUSION MARKERS ON DIFFERENT SURFACES

SOME THINGS TO COLOUR WITH KAISER FUSION PENS 
I've just treated myself to some of the new Kaiser fusion pens.  I haven't really played around much with  alcohol markers before so I'm still at the experimental stage.

So far.....they work well on peel-off stickers and silver rhinestones but the colour is affected by the surface so in this case both turned out several shades lighter than the tomato red marker marks on white paper.

The colour was "truer" on the gold split pin, although this was harder to colour than I had anticipated - there may have been a coating on the metal??  Some "blingy" trims (Green Tara) coloured really well (and yes I did use purple for the second one, it isn't a weird colour effect!

Overall I was pretty pleased with the results but have made a note to myself to colour test first if I'm colouring an unusual surface to make sure the results will be what I'm seeking.  I'll be experimenting more in the near future.

SHAPED MASK STAMPING

CIRCLE MASK
This is what I did with the circle shape I cut out last week to make the circle stencil, and its just as easy.  I was tempted to say that I attached the circle to the page with repositionable tape but actually I just held it in place and worked around my fingers..so however you want to tackle it...Put the circle or shape  you want to use as a mask wherever you want it to be on your card front and just stamp over it.  When the circle is removed a blank area remains for decoration or a greeting......too simple!!

CIRCLE STENCIL STAMPING

CIRCLE STENCIL STAMPING
An extra simple technique this week - just die cut a circle from thick paper, place the latter over your card front and stamp over the hole with a background stamp (the one I've used is from Kaiser).  Next week I'll post the example of using the circle as a mask!
