Tuesday Trigger time!! This week's Moxie Fab trigger is based on the picture of the stripey, woolly mittens below -
One of the things I enjoy about trigger challenges is trying to imitate the textures represented in the photo. Flocking would do the trick - RATS, I don't have near enough different colors of flocking - time to get crafty!
Time to crack out the Copic markers and my airbrush. The flocking base is 3" x 3" and I made marks every 5/8" so that my stripes would be even. I blocked off each stripe and airbrushed until my fingers were nice and "Copic-y" too - a definite hazard with the airbrush!
Quick tip - I use this Elmer's Sticky Out to clean the markers from my fingers. Smells way better than using Copic Colorless Blender and saves my blender for Copic techniques.

Ingenious! Great idea with the Copic tinted flocking! I want some sticky out too!

Merry Christmas!!!
This is so perfect Michelle! Love your creative thinking for the stripes on white flocking :o)
Brilliant! This card is a winner for sure. :) Thanks for the mini-tutorial!
What an awesome way to use flock! Airbrushing is on my list of new techniques to try next year.
And I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one who had to keep the stripe colors in the same order as the original mitten!
Your card is adorable and you are just so creative to come up with the airbrushed flocking.
