Silhouette Stamping, Stampin' Up!

[@VIGGOZEALOT]

Love the horse silhouette! I would never have thought about blacking out those stamps to make silhouettes. You are talented.

[@shellysullivan8547]

Gail, I love watching your video's! You inspire me! thank you for sharing your talent!

[@ruthprowse772]

Wow! love them all but the horse is my favorite. the horse looks like its galloping away from us instead of toward us!...:)

[@karendotson4632]

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for sharing. I like the silhouette image.

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thank you so much!

[@deskjockie4948]

What a unique technique! I am thinking of any number of ways to use it. Thanks for sharing your expertise and humor, and LOVE the cards!

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thank you

[@janetmuir6011]

I always enjoy your videos and how you share with us all good or bad jobs Thank you.

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thank you so much! I think if you see some of my mistakes it takes the fear out of trying it. It's a matter of working around little mishaps and for those big ones, it's only paper.

I just love your cards Gail. You inspire me. I especially love the Just Breathe card; so needed this message right now. I’m filled with such anxiety. Be safe and stay well.

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thank you Barbara! I have been feeling much anxiety as well. We just all have to be careful, breathe and know that we are all going to get through this.

[@annettetinworth7423]

Well I’m glad I had just finished my lunch when you mentioned a turd coming out of the horses backside !

[@StampwithGailsu]

ROFLMAO - Sorry, LOL

[@debbielindauer7679]

Absolutely beautiful. I really liked seeing how you used lined images and filled them in

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thank you! Hope you try it.

[@pattybetten1825]

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thank you Patty! I use a Mono sand eraser for the little boo boos

Thank you!

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

Hi Gail, absolutely LOVE watching your techniques. I have some questions, why are you using the glycerin with the Stampin Up inks? Do you use glycerin with other inks? Do you use the glycerin in place of water because of the paper you are using (non watercolor paper)? Thank you for sharing your talent. Take card, stay safe. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ~Barbara

[@StampwithGailsu]

Hi Barbara, Thank you. I use glycerin because it makes the ink glide over the paper and blend easier. Glycerin can be used with any waterbased ink so that would include watercolor markers. When I am sponging on regular cardstock is when I use it. I also use glycerin for coloring which I will be doing in tomorrow's video. Stay tuned. Hope this helped

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

Gail ONeill Thank you so very much for responding to my questions. I’ll be there.👍👍👍

[@cindiesawyer6336]

Such beautiful cards Gail. I'm so glad your doing ok. Watching you color or make your backgrounds sure relax me. Thank you so much... What you tube site do I get on to watch your coloring? Stay safe..

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thanks Cindie! I color in my sharing group on Facebook. I should start putting them on my youtube channel for coloring. the sharing page is Stamp with Gailsu Sharing group

[@annecokeley2482]

Love the technique. What black inks did you use for stamping? I noticed you had a couple of different ones. Also, what black ink should be used with alcohol markers vs. the regular markers? Thank you

[@StampwithGailsu]

I have been Using Gina K Amalgam Ink for my regular stamping. It can be used for both watercoloring and alcohol Ink. The other ink I use is Versafine Pigment Ink Onyx Black which gives a really crisp image when stamping sentiments. If you heat set it can be used for watercoloring too.

[@annecokeley2482]

Gail ONeill -thanks so much

[@carolegrummons5109]

Hi Gail. I’ve been watching you for awhile and just realized that some how I hadnt subscribed but I am now! Love this tutorial! Could you tell me what stamp set you used for the hoarse silhouette sentiments? You soo right. Just perfect for what’s going on in our crazy world! Thank you for all your inspiration!

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thank you! The sentiments came from Friend Like You. I will be doing more cards tomorrow (Sunday) with some more sentiments for this crazy stuff we have been going through. Tropical Theme

[@VIGGOZEALOT]

Could a person use the backside of the stamp in black ink and create a silhouette as well? I'm new to stamping so I hope this is not a stupid question.

[@StampwithGailsu]

I have never done it. It won't be as detailed and it will be going the reverse direction but now you have my mind thinking for a few specific stamps. I will be trying a few ideas this afternoon. If what I'm thinking works then you'll be seeing a new video.

[@VIGGOZEALOT]

@@StampwithGailsu Oh boy, can't wait. I was thinking it might work with photopolymer stamps

[@BflyMom_212]

I absolutely love this technique! You've inspired Me to make My own backgrounds and be creative. My friends are telling Me I'm an Artist, but I'm still learning. I have the aqua painter's, but I haven't seen any with a wide end. When you stamp the image you are coloring in with the black marker, do you use Versafine or Gina K basic black? And, are you using wisper white cardstock or watercolor paper? Would blending brushes work to get this effect? Can I use alcohol or water with blending brushes without hurting them? Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and your artistic talents, I truly love them. Not many Demonstrators do these techniques and go for the DSP and that just doesn't speak to My heart as much as making My own backgrounds. I just need to understand which Type of Ink to use for the Sentiment to stand out bolder. Sorry for so many questions Gail. 💞💝👍 I really love your style of creating! Thanks for brightening My day! Stay safe and well!

[@StampwithGailsu]

Thanks Bev! Versafine I use mostly for sentiments but if you heat set it you can use it for watercoloring. I mostly use the Gina K for everything else because you can either watercolor or use alcohol. I used whisper white and shimmery white for those cards. The wide brush I think I got with a set but don't remember where. You can look on other sites and maybe find it. It does come in handy for backgrounds.

[@BflyMom_212]

@@StampwithGailsu Thank you so much for taking the time to explain and answer each of My questions Gail. I watch so many Videos of Others card making and I ask questions all the time and I often don't get a reply. I know it takes time and really appreciate your taking the time to answer My questions. You're very inspiring! Thanks again!

[@StampwithGailsu]

@@BflyMom_212 - I try to answer all questions. It all comes with the art of sharing.

[@janetheadrick5096]

How do you decide when you use glycerin and when you don't?

[@StampwithGailsu]

If I don't think it's blending well I use it. Also when I want a darker smoother blend.

[@janetheadrick5096]

Thank you for your quick answer.

[@cppawley]

What sort of brush are you using-with the alcohol

[@StampwithGailsu]

The brushes are Aqua painters.

[@sheilab155]

You haven't used glicerine in a long time

[@StampwithGailsu]

lol .. you're so right and I missed it.
