My favourite technique would have to be layering as I use this so many times. So simple and yet it helps lift your project, and make it much more appealing.
ReplyDeleteThat would have be sponging with a dauber .. turns a plain looking piece into something special in an instant ... love it.
ReplyDeleteI love embossing- especially with silver. Elegant on "pretty" cards and "Christmassy" on Christmas cards. Thanks for a chance to win a great prize!
ReplyDeleteI like marker to stamp. I love it when my customers see that they can have multi-coloured images using their markers. It always makes them go WOW!
ReplyDeleteEmbossing - such a simple technique that transforms a project from nice to wow!
ReplyDeleteI love dry embossing with folders or plates. Sue Berker.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite stamping technique would have to be resist embossing, so many different looks can be achieved with this one technique.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nicole, markers to rubber would be my favourite.
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be masking and layering for that really 3D effect - especially with chalk inks, you can achieve some fabulous soft/misty effects.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is sponging, even if I only sponge the edges of a card to soften it, my sponges det a daily workout, I love them
ReplyDeleteI love learning new techniques but the ones I use the most are sponging and distressing for that Vintage look. Making paper flowers would run a very close second.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite technique at the moment would have to be patchwork... super excited about my up and coming class on it
ReplyDeleteTo do - layering. To look at - paper piecing (I'm just too lazy to do it myself!). :D
ReplyDeleteHmmm I love colouring with Stampin' Write markers to give a multicoloured effect
ReplyDeleteCheers
Sonia
My new fav technique is Brayering. I've just learnt to do it - and I just can't get enough. Chantell
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I'm allowed to answer (as I've won one day) but I'll just add mine in anyway...
ReplyDeleteI love crumpling up a piece of cardstock (several) times - brings flat perfect cardstock to life!!!! I love it! But stamp BEFORE screwing up into a ball!
Embossing is my long time favourite but lately masking has been featuring on a lot of my cards. I love how easy it is to give a card some simple dimension :)
ReplyDeleteHeat embossing. I can't seem to make a card without using it!! Danielle
ReplyDeleteEmbossing and techniques associated. Ie. Faux Metal, Embossing resist, etc. I love gettign my fingers dirty and doing something different to transform my project
ReplyDeleteI love watercolouring images with my stamp pad inks & an aquapainter. I find it quite relaxing & you can get a great range of shades from a single colour.
ReplyDeleteI love using my markers to colour in my stamps; non-stampers are always amazed at the result!
ReplyDeleteI love heat n stick powder, I just can't get enough of any kind of sparkles, lol. But I probably use my daubers more than anything else, lol.
ReplyDeleteThe kissing Technique - in real life and in stamping! lol
ReplyDeleteTearing would have to be right up there on my list, don't need any tools and is so simple but makes the project look so good!
ReplyDeleteCheers Katie
mmmm i love to add layers to my cards but my fav stamping technique would be rock 'n' roll or thumping (love quick mulitcoloured stamping!)
ReplyDeleteI like the 2-step stamping technique.
ReplyDeleteLisa H
I love the two step stamping technique. I am enjoying experimenting with vbarious colour combinations
ReplyDeleteanne wakefield
i love the rock and roll technique, just because I was amazed at how pretty it was, then when i learned how easy it was, i was blown away!
ReplyDeleteRock-n-roll is my fave tech.. esp when used with pink and purple ink
ReplyDeleteI love sponging. I mainly sponge the edges but have a big drawer full of sponges as I use them on most projects.
ReplyDelete*LOL* I'm so boring I just love to sponge, I feel it really finishes off the edges of the card/page and adds extra depth to it
ReplyDeleteWell stamps are a relatively new thing to me. So still lots to learn. But oh, what fun!!
ReplyDeleteGlenda K
Another tricky one! I've learned so many new techniques since becoming a demo .. but my favourite would have to be heat embossing. I love watching the embossing powder change, and the WOW effect this has. It's one of my favourite things to do, and one of my favourite things to demonstrate :)
ReplyDeleteWater colouring with the aqua painters - I love the soft finished look tot he images and the variety of colours and effects you can achieve.
ReplyDeleteDiana
Using my markers on my stamps. So easy but effective.
ReplyDeleteSponging and spritzing! Simple, but great effect. I like big results from little effort LOL
ReplyDeleteThe chalkboard technique. This is only a new one to me, but it is soooooooo simple, fantastic and effective!
ReplyDeleteI think daubing would be my most 'go to' technique. Although there are many others...
ReplyDeleteSponging around the edges would have to be my fave...it seems to give an extra depth and the SU daubers make it so much easier :) Kia
ReplyDeleteI think it would have to be dry embossing. I love the texture it adds! Sarah
ReplyDeleteI love using my pens to colour my stamps HEATHER SHERRY
ReplyDeleteSponging is my favourite at the moment, closely followed by using SU markers on stamps for multicoloured images.
ReplyDeleteMichelle S
I Love doing the split negative technique.
ReplyDeleteI love to finish off with sponging whether I use it on the background, the card edges or on the edges of the inserts. It adds dimension and just seems to finish everything off. Just love those little sponge daubers.
ReplyDeleteMary
It's been said before, but sponging is my favourite technique. I use on most of my projects in some way or another.
ReplyDeleteI also love trying new tecnhiques my latest was Black Magic which turned out really nicely.
Oh so so many to choose between! I love clear embossing over colour (when you ink your stamp with versamark and then ink before you stamp) I also like sponging, rock and roll, paper piecing, ok I cant pick one! :)
ReplyDeleteGardenia
I love to water colour using my aquapainters and stampin' pastels ... it's not just effective but a very relaxing way to spend an evening in front of the tv with the family!!
ReplyDeleteSandi xo
I love masking off an area to stamp in... I love all the white space this creates!
ReplyDeleteembossing - now I have discovered hubby's heat gun I don't think he will be getting it back in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteI love using the sponges, you can make edges softer and put more depth into a picture..so many different effect in one technique
ReplyDeleteI love using markers to colour stamps to give an awesome multi-colour stamp image whilst only stamping once. Cheers Mandy
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is watercolouring
ReplyDeleteoooh so hard to choose a fave. I'd have to say that rock'n'roll would be right up there as it just adds that little something extra to the image.
ReplyDeleteI just love using dimensionals.... and also my daubers.
ReplyDeleteDefinately embossing - I love watching the powder melt as you heat it.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite stamping technique is 2 step stamping.
ReplyDeleteI love Smooshing as my fav. I like backgrounds that the colors blend in together and make something new....like all of the people working together to help Hudson. Congrats to all of the contributors for making the world into the kind of world we all want to live:)
ReplyDeleteI quite like useing my daubers to sponge around edges.
