A few weeks ago my friend Gundi from papierelle showed us this interesting eraser technique and has since produced many inspiring and fabulous examples. On her blog she explains really well how it works, both in German and in English. Basically you rub a pencil on a piece of fine sandpaper, dip a sponge in the resulting powder and rub it over a stencil. Then you stamp an outline image over it and when it's dry you erase the inside of the stamp. You can either leave it white or color the image. At the end you should spray hairspray or another fixative over it so that it doesn't rub off.
I was intrigued and thought the technique would lend itself well for my older son's birthday card. The stencil I used was probably not the best choice as it was very delicate and the thin strips moved a bit. But the effect is still cool!

Other: Memory Box (stencil)
Make sure to visit Gundi because she has come up with many variations of this technique. She has even created a challenge where you can win a cute snowman stamp, should you feel inspired to try the technique out!

Eine super Karte, liebe Susanne. Der Hintergrund passt super zur Stadt. Er erinnert mich irgendwie an Sonnenaufgang.
Liebe Grüße und einen guten Wochenstart. Karte
What an interesting technique you used, Susanne! I'd love to try it. (But first, I need to buy pencils!)
You got fantastic results even though you used the delicate designed stencil! You created awesome night sky for the cityscape.
Happy birthday to your son!

Wow, die ist Dir mal richtig super gelungen und ich freue mich, das ich Dich ein wenig dazu angeregt habe. Die verwendete Schablone passt super toll. Und noch mehr freue ich mich, das es eine Karte für Deinen Sohn geworden ist. Glückwünsche auch von mir!! Danke, das Du damit auch bei meiner kleinen Challenge mitmachst!
LG Gundi
Radieren macht Spass, nicht wahr - sieht super gut aus! Der Stencil ist super, aber ich muss Dir zustimmen - nicht einfach ihn zu benuetzen. Zu delikat...
This is fabulous Susanne ! I just come from Papierelle's blog and I discovered all the gorgeous creations made with this (new to me) technique ! J'ADORE. I think I will give it a try too ! Love how the little touches of colours pop up with the monochrome look of the whole card. Thanks so much for sharing and for the inspiration.
I love the stencil you chose, Susanne! It really makes a great sky for your skyline and the banner is fantastic!! I'm going to have to give this a try, although I might need to see a video of it!! ❤Hugs, Darnell
That's such a cool stencil, Susanne ... deliciously graphic and perfect above the night time cityscape! Love that you switched the lights on in the windows ... that glow of colour adds a wonderful warmth to this fabulous masculine card! Thanks for sharing the technique ... it's so effective! Hugs, Anita :)
This is such a great technique and although maybe "flexible", I think your stencil worked marvelously with the card!
Liebe Susanne… mich erinnert die Szene an eine Langzeitbelichtung des Sternenhimmels… wunderschön 😍😍
Ganz lieben Gruß
Katrin
Super 🤗🤗🤗 Du hast es auch ausprobiert und das Ergebnis ist richtig gut geworden!
Viele liebe Grüße, Christine
Well, that's a new one to me! Neat look, for sure! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, Susanne!
How did I almost miss this post? What an interesting technique. I must admit, I’m not understanding it exactly, but your card us beautiful. Love how you did the sky. x
Die Schablone passt super zur skyline im Vordergrund! Toll gemacht!
