As someone who keeps an art journal, this is a technique I will definitely be trying. The idea couldn’t be easier. You take analog photos, get them photocopied on a toner-based copier (or laser printed), and then apply a blender pen (available in arts and crafts stores) to the reverse of the photocopy (to deposit a mirror image of your photo). The BLDG25 blog explains the transfer process: Flip your image face down, and hold in place while you completely cover the back using a blender pen. Keep in mind that your transferred image will appear as the reverse of the original — like a mirror image. If you’re nervous that the photocopy will move during the process, feel free to tape it down. The best way to do the transfer is to completely saturate one area with a blender pen before moving on to the next. A good way is to start in a corner so that you can lift it up and check to see when it’s time to move on to the next area. They don’t say in the piece, but it’s the toner that makes the transfer work (and the Xylene in the blender pen).

This is why the technique will not work on ink-based printers. Also not specified, you should be able to do this with output from a any toner-based machine, including printing digital photos and artwork on a laser printer. And acetone-based products, like nail polish remover, will likely also work as the transferring solvent. Using this technique, you can print onto paper, wood, ceramic, fabric, and more. Here are the results achieved by Flckr user “the3robbers,” using this method in her Moleskine. I think it’s quite a lovely and sophisticated effect from what seems to be a fairly straightforward process. I’ve also read that this technique works in transferring newsprint images. I’m going to try my hand at this (starting with newsprint) and I’ll post my results in the comments. If you decide to try it (or already have), please post up your results below. BTW: There are DIY blender pens recipes online, basically just filled with rubbing alcohol, glycerin, and distilled water.

I have no idea if this formula would work on toner-printed images, but I’ll try to find that out as well.soxadoodle / / / ©2008-2017 soxadoodleSorry the examples are small, but like it says in the tutorial, I HAD TO RESIZE THEM SO THEY WOULD FIT stfu. <3If there's anything that's unclear, or if you have a question, comment or send me a note. vitamix 5200 super 64oz variable speed blender;DThere are other methods to colouring with Prismas as well, but this is just how I deal with them. blenders pride whisky price in indoreshut up about spelling/grammer errors plz. braun food processor parts k1000Welcome to The Ton Stamps' 2017 Anniversary Release Blog Hop!blendtec hp3a total blender difference

Today I am showcasing just a few of the new sets.  My first cards use a new 6" x 6" rubber cling background stamp called Fountain Terrace.  This is an amazingly detailed stamp, and it's beautiful. I stamped the Fountain Terrace stamp on watercolor paper and painted using my Dr. PH Martin watercolors, then added Daniel Smith Iridescent Copper watercolor to the fountain.  I added the sentiment from Fresh Cut Poppies Outlines.  I stamped and colored the take charge girl from Born Classy onto watercolor paper and fussy cut her carefully out.  I decided she needed a stunning glittery dress, so I chose to cut one from Silver Adhesive Glitter Paper.   (A tip for paper piecing with this glitter paper, is to cover your glitter paper with  3M Post-It tape. then stamp the image onto the Post-It tape.  You can use the stamped lines as a cutting guide, then peel away the tape, leaving your glittery dress ink free.) I added a black frame, cut with the Double Stitched Squares dies and adhered everything to a card base.

I wanted to try a night scene with this stamp for this 5" x 7" card.  I stamped in Versamark ink onto navy blue card stock and heat embossed in silver.  Isn't it amazing how the details really stay crisp even when embossed?  I used the Pyrotechnics set, to add some embossed fireworks in the sky.  I then used Polychromos pencils to add a bit of shadow and reflection of the fireworks in the trees and water.  The sentiment I chose to use is actually just a portion of a sentiment from Shoe Wardrobe 2nd Edition (Solid). These two cards are created using the Thoughtful Poppies set.  This card was stamped in Caviar Hybrid ink and colored with Copic markers.  I heat heat embossed one of the thoughtful sentiments in gold. When I think of poppies, I immediately think of reds and oranges.  This time I did some no line coloring with Prismacolor pencils.  I stamped my image using the pale Crystal Pewter dye ink onto Strathmore toned gray paper.  I colored and burnished with a colorless blender pencil, then using my MISTI, stamped the sentiment in Caviar Hybrid ink, and again in Versamark so I could add clear embossing powder.  

I then used the Double Stitched Squares dies to cut both my panel and a mat, and used black fun foam to pop my focal panel up on a black card base. The next cards use the Fresh Cut Poppies Outlines set.  I love the versatility of these.  I love to color.  And almost always do.  But this time I chose to paper piece the single bloom. I stamped the flower onto a piece of pink cardstock and twice more on little miscellaneous scrap pieces of paper from my stash.  (yes, I hoard pretty papers...  and I save small leftover pieces - just for uses as this!)  I fussy cut the various petals and adhered them to my pink flower.  I also stamped the leaves and bud onto little leftover pieces of papers and card stock and fussy cut.  For my card panel, I wet a piece of watercolor paper and added some green ink and let it move across the paper.  Once dry, I trimmed the area I wanted, and stamped the sentiment and stems and bud in Caviar Hybrid ink.  I carefully added just a bit of green to the stems with a Copic marker.  

I then spattered a light and a dark green watercolor droplets to the panel and let it dry before adhering my bloom, bud and leaves. And assembling my card with a green mat. This card is my Wizard of Oz card.  Remember when Dorothy and her friends had to cross the poppy fields?  This sentiment from The New Pretty set were the perfect addition to make a red poppy encouragement card. I stamped several of the poppies on watercolor paper and wet the paper then just dropped in vibrant red and orange watercolors and let them move and blend.  When dry, I added some yellow to the center as well as purple, then cut out the blooms when dry.  I used a sponge dauber to sponge in some Everglade Moss ink to a card base made with Bristol smooth paper.  I added the sentiment also with Everglade Moss ink, and laid out where the flowers would fit.  I then lightly added a marking with pencil of where the flowers would be with pencil, then stamped the stems with Caviar Hybrid ink, and used a Zig marker to add more green to the stems and buds.
