Tape transfer technique
there are a variety of ways to create special effects on you photos. You can do it digitally and you can experiment manually. Here, i share a widely used technique used by many mixed media scrappers. i used clear tape to create funk on my image. Have fun, experiment and be not afraid to try it out !
brief Steps :
1. Print black and white copy of photograph (here, i used non-photo paper)
2. Appy a strip of clear packing tape over image.
3. Burnish tape to the image by pressing with fingers. Rub tap in different directions..
4. Immerse taped image into water. Leave it in the water for a few minutes until the paper is saturated.
5. Roll paper from tape and gently rub off till you can see through the tape.
6. The image "sticks" onto the tape.

This is a super cool technique. My recollection, though, is that it can only be done with a laser print... either from a laser printer or from a copier. Just an FYI for those reading. Thanks for the reminder about it, though. I forgot how much I really love this look.
