Holly Brown: Stencil Collage Pink Butterflies

Howdy Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  Have you been playing in the Technique of the Week challenges? This week we focused on the Stenciled Collage technique from the current issue (June/July 2013).  I decided to play with some pink colors on this beautiful butterfly collage stamp from I Brake for Stamps.

When I developed this technique, I had these kinds of collage stamps in mind.  Sometimes I don't feel like spending four hours coloring a collage, so I came up with this fun and quick and easy way to add color to the collage.  I hope you enjoy this card and play along with us on the Technique Junkies Yahoo group!  :-)  Have a wonderful weekend!

Nesties Spotlighting

When I first came up with this technique, I had intended it for more elaborate Nestibilities Shapes -- but it works well with Nesties rectangles, too!

This is an example of Nestibilities Spotlighting from the new Emboss or Die CD. I LOVE this card -- so perfect for a Sympathy card. Stamps are from I Brake for Stamps (sentiment) and smARTworks (leaves).

This is one of  79 tutorials on the Emboss or Die CD - have you ordered yours yet? If not - go HERE to order it. Have a great day!

My Sunshine

Greetings, Friends! Jane Bosi, here, sharing a few pieces of art. I was excited and delighted with the results this week when I FINALLY tried the Wet Stencil technique. As you may remember, it was featured last Thursday as the "Try That" technique. I'm always up for some helpful prompting :) and was glad for the nudge to try something new (you can find the Wet Stencil details in the 4/09 edition)! My first card share today is that project and features stamps from smARTworks!

In the same vein, I decided to give a go to a technique I've looked at many times, but never tried. Featuring stamps from IBrake For Stamps and Amuse, my second card uses the August 2009 technique, Punched Windows.

If you haven't, I really urge you to get out those newsletters--I keep mine in a binder and page protectors---and try something new!

TTFN, Jane

Fancy Folds.....POP!!

{Jane Bosi} I sure hope you are not getting sick of seeing projects from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD!!! These Pop Out cards are super fun and simple, if you have the right directions! {wink and giggle!}

This card features stamps from I Brake For Stamps (sentiment from Stampin Up!). My papers are just scraps from a long ago project, but I think they work well with the vintagey feel of the stamps and card!

Have a great day, friends!! I'm hoping to find my FF and M CD in my mailbox soon!! How about you

Prayer Changes Things

Hello Friends! Jane Bosi, here, sharing some more great stamps from I Brake For Stamps and the Level Up technique (August 2010). This is such a soothing technique for me--although, it is hard to see the true results on-line. This "praying hands" image is smaller, too, but trust me when I tell you it looks great in person!

All of the stamps I've used come from the Inspirational Plate #3 at I Brake For Stamps. This is a great plate with lots of wonderful images and sentiments.

How are you Level(ing) Up? Don't be afraid to share with us!

TTFN, Jane

Up and Over

Happy Tuesday, Fellow Junkies! Jane Bosi, here, sharing a card featuring the Up and Over technique (June/July 2010). This is a great technique when you are looking for something elegant and sophisticated!

I've used one of my favorite new images from I Brake For Stamps, Floral Silhouette Bouquet. This is a great stamp--very versatile and compatible with many of our techniques. I'm not sure what it is that draws the eye to a silhouette, but the combination of this image and technique actually made me gasp out loud!

The sentiment, "Nothing is worth more than this day" is another favorite of mine and can be found in Papertrey Inks set called Everyday Blessings.

I'm hoping you'll have a fantastically inspired day!
TTFN, Jane

Try that Technique and 2007 on sale!

As Beth announced today, the Try that Technique challenge for this week is the Cling and Scrunch Technique from the June 2007 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. This is such as easy technique and it makes some of the most sensational backgrounds...and there are so many variations you can try with different mediums.

My card uses two colors of color wash spray to achieve my blue "water" background. This piece is SO pretty in person -- I did it on a sheet of iridescent white from the Paper Temptress and it is just stunning in person, with its subtle shimmer. The boat image is from I Brake for stamps, and the verse is from Impression Obsession. I colored the boat with Copics Markers.

Now it is your turn to Try that Technique!

Don't have this issue? No problem! You may purchase the six 2007 issues for HALF-PRICE. From now through Wednesday, April 19th, the 2007 issues are $9.00 plus postage. Email me for an invoice TODAY -- you do NOT need to be a current TJ subscriber to order these!

Can't wait to see your art!
