It's Deb here with another stamp from the November Stamp Release . I used the Fall Mushroom stamp and I have to say that lately I have had a thing for mushrooms !! I have a new mushroom notebook made by a friend, a sweatshirt and a coffee cup . Does anyone else share my latest obsession ???  I had planned on coloring the image but when I stamped it on a piece of patterned paper, it really created a fabulous look that needed nothing else !!

• I stamped the mushroom image on a patterned paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink .
• The sentiment was stamped on a piece of cream cardstock with Memento Rich Cocoa .
• I embossed a piece of red cardstock with the Sizzix Winter Woodland embossing folder.
• The embossed panel was adhered to a Kraft card base.
• The stamped image was cut with a square die   and adhered to the embossed panel .
• The sentiment was adhered below the stamped image with foam tabs .
• I placed a black rhinestone on each corner of the sentiment.

I love this combination of black and red !! Do you ?? Have you had a chance to check out all of the new release stamps at Technique Junkies ??  Fall Mushroom is just one of their new images.

I'll Be There

Deb here with my latest post . I made this card for a friend who is having a rough time right now. She has been there for me when I've needed a night of girl talk, so I'm returning the favor with this card. I used 2 of the new August Release stamps - Look Beside You & Little Paint Stroke . These are only 2 of the fabulous new stamps from Technique Junkies .

• The Look Beside You image was stamped on white cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Dew Drop ink .
• I highlighted the Look Back, Look Ahead and Beside You words with  the Little Paint Stroke stamp. I used Angel Pink, Summer Sky and Dandelion inks.
• I stamped the Look Beside You image again over the paint strokes to make sure the black was crisp. I used my MISTI to stamp this image, but the paint strokes were stamped with an acrylic block for perfect positioning .
• A puffy sticker of a pair of glasses  was placed at the top of the completed stamped image.
• A red puffy heart was placed at the bottom of the stamped panel .
• I adhered the completed stamped panel to a  folded sheet of wood patterned 6x6 paper for a mini slimline card.

I hope that you like this card as much as I do.  It's a perfect stamp for a Thinking of You card, a Friendship card or even for a Sympathy card . It's a great stamp to add to your stash.

Blooming Beauty

Deb here with another card for you . . The July Release from Technique Junkies has such a variety of amazing stamps that it's hard to choose which design to post first . I don't have many floral stamps ( I know, can you believe that ?!?! ) so I decided to work with Blooming Beauty . It's a gorgeous, detailed stamp that can be used for many occasions. I decided to do a bit of paper-piecing on this card . It's an easy image to fussy-cut. There are also multiple layers of petals and leaves to work with and color.

• I stamped the Blooming Beauty image on white cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink .
• It was also stamped on a piece of blue-patterned paper.
• The central floral image was fussy-cut from the blue paper.
• I used a stitched edge rectangle die to cut out the floral image on the white cardstock.
• I colored the white floral image with COPICS and added highlights to the blue floral image .
• On a light green card base, I adhered a piece of geometric-design patterned paper.
• The blue floral image was adhered over the white cardstock.
• I added golden-yellow rhinestones on the stamped image .
• The stitched rectangle was popped up on the card base with foam tabs.
• A Tim Holtz Small Talk sentiment was placed at the bottom right on the patterned paper.

I'm already thinking of different color palettes for this card .. I'm sure I'll be using it again and again .. Are you a floral stamp person  ?? I'd love to see what you could do with this stamp .. I hope you'll take a moment and look at all the fabulous stamps available from Technique Junkies .
