Ria, our guest designer from August is back with more of her fabulous stamping. Here she will share how to do a beautiful doorhanger using a transfer technique.

Friend Door Hanger

1 – Print out desired image using ink jet printer and regular bond paper.

2 – Apply gesso on door hanger for a smoother surface.

3 – Cut out image to fit door hanger.

4 – Apply gel medium over entire image and turn over onto door hanger.

5 – Use a bone folder to smooth out air bubbles and ensure the whole image is transferred. Let dry at least 30 minutes.

6 – Peel off as much paper as you can to reveal image.

7 – To show more of the image, spritz lightly with water.

8 – Then use your finger to rub off paper to reveal the image. Let dry.

9 – Ink balloon stamp.

10 – Stamp balloon, string and saying on the door hanger .

11 – Embellish as desired.

And here Ria shares another beautiful card with our birthday ballons, which she stamped on fabric, cut out and adhered to the card panels. I love the texture the ballons get from the fabric. This is a fabulous card!

Thanks so much Ria for visiting and sharing your great techniques and ideas with us. It was fun to have you over at myStampBOX!
