Once I get on a technique kick, I have a hard time not incorporating it into my projects or looking for other ways to use it (see my Snow page<\/a>.)  Today’s technique is one you’ve seen me do recently and as I did it, I knew it was gonna stick!  This technique incorporates the E-Z Runner\u00ae Grand<\/a> using the Repositionable Dots Refill<\/a> to create a unique background. Here’s my layout using the Adhesive Masking Technique:<\/p>\n

If you take a close look at my background you can see that it has dots on it as I tried to recreate a beach scene with the yellow and blue but put a twist on it with the dots.<\/p>\n

To create this look, I use my E-Z Runner\u00ae Grand<\/a> with Repositionable Dots Refill applied all over the background. Then I used Distress Oxides inks and sponged it over the top of the dots. When dry,  I removed the adhesive by rubbing it gently with my finger. Essentially I used the Repositionable Dots as a mask or a resist.<\/p>\n

This close-up shows you the design in more detail. Although I could have gone with a more simple mixed media background, this technique allowed me to add a little more abstract pattern.<\/p>\n

Another couple of handy adhesives on this layout were the E-Z Runner\u00ae Micro Refillable Dispenser<\/a> and 3D Foam Squares<\/a>. I used the Micro to add adhesive to the back of my happy words. This is a narrower adhesive at only 1\/8″ in width, making this adhesive perfect for little die cut pieces!<\/p>\n
