I was just curious as to what is purchased through Viking for your SU! crafts and ideas

[scrappinchick]

I personally buy the following from Viking...mono adhesive, ivory and white envelopes, legal pads, RSVP pens, and i also get my ink cartriges for my printer. I have the great ladies here at SCS for pointing me to Viking!!!!

They're Artist quality pencil crayons...you scribble color an image and then use odorless mineral spirits and an art stump to blend so your image looks like it's been watercolored. I've also used them just blending three ranges of one color (light, medium and dark) to create layers with a shadow effect. They are wonderfully soft and blend very well.

Thanks for the info about ebates.com and viking.com. That's great. Got a question --

Do you have some cards in the gallery using this technique?

[grace]

Okay, I found a couple of old cards that I had using the dark, medium, light color blending technique without mineral spirits (although one I did blend the background with mineral spirits) Here are the connections but they may not be in for a bit:

Hopefully this will give you a little idea of the technique...I haven't any up to date ones though.

HOW do you order from viking? I have tried putting in the codes, etc. but don't know how to get it in...whenever I pick out something I want it comes up automatically and there is nowhere to put the special code. HELP!! PLEASE!!!

[row4d]

Relax, it's easy. There's a field for you to enter any special code you may have during the checkout process.

Viking is really, really fast, too! I often get stuff the next day! Whoo-hoo! :lol:
