We're starting our Spring VSN with a fun technique challenge found with this tutorial, Rolling Marble Background. In this fun technique, it will be your ink that travels From Here to There!

Below, you can see some samples made by VSN hostesses. Have fun! (Note: You do NOT need to use Versamark reinker to make this technique. Any die reinker will work.)

This is such a fun technique everyone!!!!!!!!! Hope you all give it a try!

[berlycece]

I absolutely love how quick and easy it is to make backgrounds with this technique! I cut a full sheet of whisper white into quarters, and did each of them with my 3 spring colors...so fun! I'll upload my "extra" two in just a few minutes.

This is a really fun technique...I remember doing this for one other VSN a while ago so I still had my marbles. ;) I actually got them at a surplus store in my city. They have the most bizarre items, huge boxes of things you didn't know you needed...:rolleyes:

[berlycece]

I used wooden beads. Last year, I hosted a VSN Kids challenge that needed beads for some little hanging birds. Maybe I'll just call them my VSN beads!

[Forest Ranger]

I'm late. Oops! I thought this started at 5:00 my time. My bad. My card is made though. Let me get it in the gallery.

[Forest Ranger]

Kim, there's no "From Here to There" in my drop down list. What am I doing wrong?

[Forest Ranger]

The first thing in my list is December 2018 Holiday Stories

For some reason, it is at the BOTTOM of the VSN gallery options. And it is labeled March 2019 - From Here to There. I am going to post a note on the hostess side, as well as in the regular chat thread.

Hopefully, it will get moved up to the top soon, but we the mods) can't change it ourselves.

[Forest Ranger]

Never mind... I found Here to There... it's at the very bottom of the list.

Here's my card...

BTW, I couldn't find marbles so I used bouncy balls. ;)

[Forest Ranger]

Thanks for explaining. I'd found it, but you were helping me in case I didn't. ;)

Hi Kim, I tried this technique last week with our poppets and it didn’t come out right...probably because we didn’t have marbles or use something suitable lol. I will have another go but won’t post in the gallery as I won’t be here for the VSN. Thanks for the challenge and happy day

[FayeMakesCards]

Past the date but I had to use the scrap from my previous card!
