Techniques

This category contains all technique articles created as part of the imagine magazine e-article series. Each technique is fully illustrated with an artist trading card (ATC) as the main project and several step-by-step photos. The ATC project is not discussed and serves merely as an example of what can be achieved with the technique. Including the main words in a technique article's name in a search should produce several other projects that made use of this technique.

Currently this category is displaying 5 public articles.

This blog layout offers you more information about each article including a short description of what it is about. Unlike the list layout only 10 articles will be displayed per page. Navigational links will be available just before and after the list when there are more than 10 articles. The list is sorted by article date with the newest article first in the list.

Stamping off is a really easy technique that can be achieved using rubber stamps, acrylic stamps and even foam stamps. All you need is a bit of imagination. Stamping off really means that you ink up a stamp, then stamp the image for a clear solid print, and then repeatedly stamp the same image without re-inking the stamp to get a faint image.
