It's All About the Daubers!

Yes, I said daubers! You know those funny little things to add color to the edges of things? First, I'd like to share an organizational tip with you. I use daubers with many different colors and had a difficult time knowing which dauber went with which color ink. So many of the blues look similar. So with my Cropidile and some jewelry tags, I marked which color was used.
Thread the jewelry tag through the hole and Voila! You now know which color goes with each dauber!


How about using those daubers with a mask? I used a Tim Holtz spider web mask found in Noel's Ghost Story kit.

When you peel the mask off, it looks like this!


Stick the mask on the paper of your choice. I used a patterned paper by Making Memories, also found in Noel's Ghost Story kit.


I used Going Gray for this.....

With inked up dauber spread, dab ink around the mask.


Peel off the mask and this is what you have! Cool huh?

This is what I created!


One more suggestion on using those daubers. Use them to make clouds! I bought this stencil eons ago and use it a lot! You could create your own using heavy card stock or tag board. Just lay the cloud template and dauber white ink around the edges.


This is a sample of the effect you would get! Experiment a bit with this to get the look you want! Who knew daubers could be so fun?!
