Craft Club Challenge 26th March 2012

Peel-off stickers are a strange crafting material...you either love them or you hate them, but either way we use them for those quick fix moments when time is against us!   This weeks Craft Club Challenge is designed to encourage you to explore all the possibilities using peel-off stickers.

Criteria:   Theme: Any Genre

Design and make a Card or Craft Project using Peel-off stickers as a common theme.  I would like you to think of 5 different ways in which to use peel-off stickers and include them in your project.

Some examples are listed below:
  • As a stencil, then inking with pigment inks or distressing inks
  • As a creative main image
  • Changing the colours of peel-offs using alcohol pens or alcohol inks
  • Creating Borders or frames
  • Using peel-offs as a decoupage.
  • Lyering onto acetate and colouring using alcohol pens or infilling with glue and glitter on the reverse.
  • Infill peel-offs with clear glaze to create a stained glass effect.
  • Add Peel-offs onto veluum then add texture and depth with an embossing tool

(Click on once on the photos to enlarge)  This card shows 5 different techniques using peel-off stickers.  The main focal point has been embossed using an embossing tool (see the white shading on the vellum) and coloured with pencils (both on the reverse).  Also this has been decoupaged whith a small additional flower glued on with Pinflair Gel.  The butterfly has just been embossed to give added interest and dimension and flutters on a strip of acetate glued on the inside of the card.    I love using the peel-offs as a mask then inking over the top (as in the "with Love" green background).  Lastly the greeting plate was a silver flat matt peel-off and this was scribbled over with premanent market pens then blended with alcohol blending solution on a felt pad.   I hope you like the finished card and look forward to seeing your lovely projects.

Happy Crafting, have fun!
