Winds of Change and Pool Party

Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I wanted to share some cards using two of the May new release stamps, 'Winds of Change', and 'Pool Rules'. I also used an April release stamp 'Particle Flow'.

For this first card, I stamped Particle Flow in versamark ink on Kraft cardstock. I used my MISTI, and re-inked a few times, to get a good image. The image was stamped on Kraft, colored with Copic Markers, and matted with a dark coral mat. I used a scrap of patterned paper to break up the card base, and adhered the focal panel over the patterned paper strip with dimensional foam. 

For this card, Particle Flow was stamped with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with pink powder. I cut a piece out of the center of the card base front, for a fun way to mount the Winds of Change panel. The image was stamped on white cardstock with Memento Ink, and colored with Copic markers, then matted with green cardstock scrap.  While the scraps were out, I cut a couple of strips to add to the card base. The focal panel was adhered to top and bottom panel, leaving the center open. The inside of the card has a green mat and white panel for writing message.

I wasn't sure what to do with this darling Pool Rules stamp, so I stamped with a Kaleidacolor Ink Pad.  I drew a wading pool on white cardstock, colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut it out. After edging the Pool Rules with pink marker, I cut a slit in the pool waster, and slid my panel into the slit. I had two small scraps of alcohol ink pieces, and tucked them in behind the panel, and mounted everything onto a blue card base.
