I love the gorgeous Green of Luscious Lawn Shimmering Mist for Holiday card designs.  

I used the Shimmering Mist with the Flowing Drops Stencil from A Colorful Life to create my background.  It's a large stencil, so I was able to create a 5"x7" card base.

I stamped Technique Junkies Vintage Merry Christmas in coordinating Green Ink and die cut with a Postage Stamp Die.  I finished with a wrap of Green Seam Binding and a big Christmas bow.

After I sprayed my stencil, I used a second piece of cardstock to soak-up the excess spray ... that gave me two backgrounds to use.

This card uses the second background (and a had enough background left for a third card if I want).

I added a Polaroid camera die (because in our family, many of our childhood Christmas memories involve Polaroid photos).  I added the Technique Junkies All is Calm Sentiment and one of the snowflakes from the new Technique Junkies Snowflakes Stamp Set.

Have you used some Shimmering Mist to make Holiday Cards?  If so, we'd love if you linked them up in the Technique Junkies Facebook Group (you can also check it out for lots of Technique Junkies inspiration).

Advice from an owl

Hello friends! Giovana here today with a fun shaker card! For this card I used a brand new set "You are a Hoot" and "Gingham".

First, I stamped the cute owls on white cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black, colored them with alcohol markers and then added little details with Nuvo Markers, then fussy cut them out, after that I added Clear Laquer to the owl glasses.

I stamped the Gingham background on a piece of pink cardstock in red ink using my MISTI for perfect coverage, then stamped it again in Versamark Watermark ink and added clear embossing powder, then trimmed the imaged and die-cut an oval window, adhered a piece of transparency, added foam adhesive behind the panel and around the oval window to create the shaker. 

The sentiment was stamped in red ink, then added gold sequins on the middle of the sentiment, then added the gingham panel on top. Panels were added to a white card base.

Added a little white bow to embellish the card and voila!

Thursday? Already? Try That Technique

{Jane Bosi} Well, as it sometimes happens, Thursday has caught me completely off guard! I AM bringing you this week's Try That Technique Challenge! This week, our technique is: Acetate and Pearl Ex from the October 2004 edition. As the mother of five wee ones, I tend to shy away from any kind of technique that results in a mess---I already have enough of those on my hands! I wouldn't exactly say this is messy.......but, it could be! The results, however, are well worth some stray Pearl Ex on the table! My main image is from I Brake For Stamps. The sentiment, from Rouge Redhead Designs. C'mon! Give it a whirl! TTFN, Jane
