Gettin' All Jazzy with Technique Junkies

Hello Junkies!
Karen McAlpine with you today getting all Jazzy with the Junkies. Check out the awesome Sax player from Technique Junkies.  I love this background too.  I thought it looks so art deco. Just perfect for the 1930's style Jazz musician.  The images were stamped on velum for a stained glass kind of feel. Both images are from the April New Releases from Technique Junkies.


Materials List:
Stamps: SaxophonistMosaic Scallops, and You Are Amazing Sentiment all from Technique Junkies
Ink: Black Stazon
CS: Bright green
Velum: clear and green
Yarn
Silver Dots




Make it:
  • Make a card from green CS
  • On green velum, stamp the Mosaics Scallop Background with black ink
  • Glue to the card base
  • On clear velum, stamp the Saxophonist with black ink
  • Add to the card
  • Add the silver dots

  • Stamp the sentiment with black ink on green CS and add to card
  • Tie yarn in a bow and glue to card
I particularly like the Sax player as my husband is a jazz musician.  Although he does play the trumpet.  Because I stamped on green velum, I did not have to do any coloring on the background to get the stained glass look. How easy is that!!??
Thanks for stopping by!!  See you again soon.
