September 6, 2012 Cowboy Gear


Doodle Pantry, Liquid Applique, Nailhead brad, Spica glitter pen

Another new fun image from Doodle Pantry called Cowboy Gear.  This set is not colored so it was perfect for me to use the suede technique. After resizing and printing (on ivory cs) my boot image  I squeezed a generous amount of brown liquid applique on wax paper, then I used my  brayer roller and picked up the liquid applique.  Next I rolled the brayer over the image getting a pretty thin even coating on the boots.  I let it sit for just a few minutes then took my heat tool and heated the brown liquid applique.  Make sure you don't over heat as it tends to "burn".   I then cut my boots out , added a bit of spica glitter pen on the trim of the boots, pop dotted the image.  The sentiment went perfect with this pair of boots.  When you feel the boots they feel like a very soft leather that have been worn to many line dances!!!
