Question about rolled marble background?

[Marzbar71]

I want to do this with two colors. Do I need to do two seperate boxes?

I was going to do this in some empty stamp boxes and reinkers. I tried a search for this technique and couldn't find anything. If you have a link to a thread that explains this technique, please post it.

Thanks!

I just watched this demoed yesterday on Smart Solutions....maybe HGTV will have the technique on their website. As, I watched in awe, just didn't pay attention!! They also demoed the shaving cream technique. HTH

Lisa, I went to view the page but it says that I don't have access. I am logged in and am DD member so am wondering if it is just down for a short time?

Hi, I'm very new to Splitcoaststampers, but having a ball! My Stampin' Up demonstrator showed us how to do this technique. You put in as many colors and as many marbles as you want to do this background. Have fun.

Sorry, but didn't read your question completely before I responded. Everything goes into one box.

not sure why it won't let you open that page - but here are the directions:

BTW - I use 2 separate boxes - 1 for each color - HTH

These are direction's I received from Gayle Miller

"Wacky Marble" technique

SUPPLIES:
~ medium size stamp storage boxes
~ Classic Reinkers
~ Small floral marbles (I got mine at Michaels)
~ 1/4 sheet card stock

You take a piece of rolled masking tape and stick it to the inside lid of the box.
Place your card front on that

-Next place 6 drops of reinker in a puddle in the bottom of the box.
- place your marbles (well not yours but, you know what I mean. LOL) Place THE marbles in the bottom of the box and snap the lid shut tightly
- roll marbles into the puddle until well coated
-then flip the box upside down and roll the inked marbles onto your card front. (the remaining ink does not drip)
ONLY use one color at a time to prevent muddy colors. I use a different box when using two colors just so I don't have to keep washing it out.
You will get 14-16 card fronts from the 6 drops.

Thanks for the replies! I am going to do this at my Stamp Camp this weekend.

I'm doing two colors and have plenty of boxes so I think I'll use two boxes.
