Burnished Embossing

Hello folks, it's Beth Norman here with Burnished Embossing which can be found on the Stampin Companion CD.  I love how the burnishing highlights my favourite branch stamp.  I used this particular sentiment because I thought it paired well with the branches, where one would expect to find a bird or two.  It's spring and it just felt springy to pair these two stamps together.

I'm leaving late winter behind today (I live in Canada) and am flying to Atlanta, Georgia, to visit with my mom and sisters for the week.  It's been four years since my last visit and I thought I should use up some of my accumulated vacation to go and visit.

Have a great week!

Burnished Embossing and Butterflies by Judy Jackson

Hello to all of you on this day - from Judy Jackson. I hope it is a sunny day wherever you live! I wanted to create a little "sunshine" for myself with this card. I embossed the fancy swirl (Stampin' UP!) with silver Pearl embossing powder. Then I used the Burnished Embossing technique found on the SU Companion CD.

I stamped and embossed these lovely butterflies and the verse (all from Sweet and Sassy Stamps). I used markers to add color to the butterflies. Then I popped them up with pop dots.

I can hardly wait for long sunny summer days and butterflies in my garden!

Have a great day!

Judy Jackson

Burnished Love

Hey, Junkies!  Ann Clack here!  Here is a Burnished Embossing (from the new Stampin' Companion CD) Valentine.  I recently something on one of the blogs I follow about a fold over flap card that was cut with their Silhouette.  I really wanted that cut file but alas, only in Silhouette form.  So......I thought I'd make my own.  Here is the result.  Enjoy!  Now.......go get the new CD!

Hello My TJ Friends! Kathie McGuire here today with a project from the Dec/2011-Jan/2012 Technique Junkie newsletter.

This card features the Distress Ink Watercolor technique. I used it to color behind the Michael Strong Stamps image which was stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder.

The background of the card is nothing more than melted crayons. I made the background first, then used various colors of Distress Inks to match the crayon colors.

Thanks for stopping by today, and if you haven't tried watercoloring with Distress Inks, you're missing out on a VERY fun and easy technique!

Burnished Embossing

My  card today features a technique from January '08: Burnished Embossing.  I was a little more 'generous' with the burnishing than the tutorial shows, but it also works.   The flourish stamp is from Stampers Anonymous and the sentiment is from Verses Rubber Stamps.
