Do you already know the Eraser Technique?

Hello everyone!
It's Saturday and time for a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown! This week we have a technique challenge:

Eraser Technique

The basic equipment for this simple but very effective technique is very minimal. 

All you need is a piece of sandpaper, a pencil, a sharpener, a matching stamp, a stamp pad, a sponge and of course an eraser. 

What is still very important is hairspray, but I'll explain that below!

Here is my card, which I will explain step by step with the following pictures.

Here again the basic equipment for this technique. 

You can and should also use stencils, that makes it even more interesting! 

But for today I will only use the indispensable!

First I scribbled with the pencil on sandpaper to get graphite, which I then smeared with a small sponge on the whole surface of the white card stock. - Not too much, but not too little!

Then I stamped the penguins.  

....I won this stamp with this technique at Heindesign ....because actually the story started there! 

Last November my friend Gundi organized a challenge with this technique, which she had discovered at Heindesign. It immediately caught my eyes and of course I had to take part! Mr. Hein had provided this stamp for the Challenge and personally selected the winner according to his criteria! - You can imagine how happy I was!

Sorry, I was a bit long, but I had to tell the story!

Next I made a few snow hills with a torn piece of paper.

Then I started erasing the snowmen....

See, now they're getting white again!

I also made thick snowflakes - I just put on the eraser tip and turned it. 

....you should clean the eraser frequently so that nothing gets smudged! 

I watercolored the penguins with felt-tip pens and erased the snow hills a bit more. 

To make it a bit glitter, I covered the snowmen, the snowflakes and the snow hills with Wink of Stella.

I cut the panel to size and made faux stitches at the edges using my quilting wheel.

And now the hairspray comes into use! 

It is sprayed over the finished card, so that nothing can smear afterwards!

...and the second positive side, it smells good! :)

If you want to look at other examples, here are some of them: Here using a stencil, here using Kraft, here and here.

I hope I could inspire you to this super simple technique and look forward to what you do with it! 

Have fun smearing and erasing! 😉
