More ideas for your copic airbrush

On the third Thursday evening each month, we have a girls night out at the local scrapbook store.  I take a different topic each month and share ideas. I think using the copic airbrush system was probably the most fun night I've had!  Of course...it's "work" for me to come up with creative uses for some of the products I play with, but this was just plain fun!

I found this old wire basket at a thrift store - it was browns, greens, reds and oranges and I just do not like those colors at all.  I sprayed the entire thing white - using a 2 part primer and paint spray.  Then I "hit" spots with pink and mint copics and now I love how it looks!  I love how the airbrush fades to the white edges.   Yes....full of cards I've made in the past few months - great way to store them.

The airbrush is great for giving fresh color back to doll cheeks and skin....but not on this little cutie!  She's wearing a Bonnie Jean dress I picked up for $2.49.  I was able to trace the flower petal pattern, cut it out in white satin, airbrush the satin pink and make the matching flower to add to the hat.

Airbrushing fabric is so easy and can give added color to existing fabric (no you probably can't wash it but I'll never wash this dolls hat) or create matching fabric to any project your are working on.  What have you airbrushed lately?

Card-making with quilt scraps!

In the back of the store, there are huge boxes filled with quilt scraps that are for sale. $3.00 for 50 pieces. They are the remnants from a company that makes medical scrubs and bundled in matching "pieces". I went through some of the boxes just to see what was there and pulled out a few pieces and decided that we could make "bling" cards. Mind you that "bling" just does not show up in the camera's eye....but they still look pertty good!



I used white staz-on ink for the flourish stamps. Nestabilities to cut the windows.



Took a fine tipped glue pen and drew over the lines in the fabric, dropped glitter down, dusted off the excess. I think you can see the detail here:



For this one, I cut the flower out, then laid it on top of the card and "sealed" the edges with glossy accents. Used Ranger's white pen to alter the flourish stamps.



Getting a ton of comments on these this week! Maybe we can make some on Friday! But is this not gorgeous fabric? I've yet to meet the nurse wearing these as scrubs! There are hundreds more patterns in the boxes, so if you quilt and live in San Diego, come on down and just come to the back of the store!
