Try That Technique: Polished Mulberry

Try That Technique! Stampers who have the June 2003 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter will find Polished Mulberry, which you can see on my card.

Diana and I challenged each other, once again, to Try That Technique. We hope you join in on the fun too.

If you are a TJ member, submit your card on our Yahoo Group or if you are not a current member, link up your card here for your chance to have your card on the TJ Yahoo Group home page for the week, and with your name in highlights too!

Congratulations Barbara Washington. You are this week's winner and will find your card on the homepage. Thank you for playing.

The background was fun to make, as I do love to get my hands inky, which is why I have a special shirt to use when I work with any liquid product. This shirt came about totally unexpectedly as Donnie pointed out the large ink spot while we were out for supper. Imagine my red face! That will teach me to work unprotected.

Happy Stamping friends,

Vintage Wallpaper by Judy Jackson

I chose this shell collage Cuttlebug embossing folder to use with this technique. I wondered how it would work for this super technique! Terrific. I layered some clear vellum over the top at an angle -- then I tied the bow. I attached the clear vellum with two colored brads. I added sentiment stamped on colored vellum and clear embossed. I laid that over the clear vellum. The different layers add texture and interest to the card. The card would be fine without the layers but I think it just brings it up a notch in added detail.

I love the Technique Junkie newsletter -- it enables me to learn new techniques that can spark my own creativity. I love it when someone say to me, "How did you do this?"

I hope you are having a wonderful week and are able to get in some stamping time!

Scrunchie.....another old favorite

It's Evelyn here....with a funky favorite technique:  Scrunchie.  It appeared in the November 2007 newsletter.     This past week, I recycled magazines and catalogs and saved several great glossy covers and pages from the Coldwater Creek catalog. There were also some beautiful red and black butterflies on a New Yorker cover, which I used  for this card.    The stamped image is from Diva Impressions, an unmounted I "found" in my mess of unmounteds.    (No one else has that problem, surely!!)
