Decoupage using a Digital image
Decoupage is still very popular and can be done easily with rubber stamps. You can also decoupage with Digital images. This tutorial will show you how to do it easily.
The image I have used is Whimsical Girl Heart Garden from Bee Crafty.
1. First I printed the image 4 times using Photo Printing Wizard onto good quality white cardstock ( about 250 gsm)
2. I then coloured one image with my Promarkers. My 2 main colours are Mango and Bright Green. This isn't necessary as this is the base image which will be layered but I think it gives a more professional look.
3. I then cut out the image, in this case using a Nestability die.
4. I have then coloured and cut out various parts of the image from the remaining 3 images.
4. Here is a close up of the cut out images.
5. If you don't have many Promarkers and want to use shading on your images you can go over your colouring with the same colour to deepen it. In this case I have gone over the Mango with the same Mango pen on the left side of the image. I have done the same with the Bright Green. This will give the shaded effect
6. I have layered the pieces on top of each other with foam pads.
7. Next I have used Glossy accents over the heart shape flowers and sprinkled tiny yellow accent beads. The Glossy accents is clear and will act as a glue to hold the beads in place.
And there you have a decoupaged image made from a digital image.
Digital image on Shrink plastic and coloured with Promarkers.
1. I have also printed the image directly on to Shrink plastic. Be careful when handling this though as the ink stays wet.
2. Colour in the image taking care not to touch the print as it will smudge. Your colouring with Promarkers doesn't have to be good here! Don't use very dark colours as the colours you use intensify when the image is shrunk. Punch a hole in the Shrink plastic if you wish to attach it to your project with a brad or to thread ribbon through.
3. Finally shrink it with a Heat gun. You now have a small "tile" to attach to your project
