Lots of Buzz....

{jane bosi}  Hello, Junkies!!!  That's right!  Lots of buzz is being generated at Technique Junkie stamps!  Today, my project features the Botanical Bee set and tutorial from the Sensational Stencils CD!

The tutorial is called Pasted Dylusions.  I chose a stencil of  hexagonal shapes to add to the bee theme of the card--I think it is very hivey looking :)  After allowing the paste to set, I used three different shades of yellow and orange to create the colorful background.  Once that was finished, I added some Vintage Photo distress ink to highlight the stencil shapes.  I love this technique for the extra dimension and color it adds to any project.

I'm sure you can tell that the bee in this set is HUGE!!!  I surely would not want to meet him in real life, but he is perfect for this card along with the witty saying!  And, just in case you do not yet have a bunch of stencils (like some people I know.....) to use with this fabulous CD, Technique Junkies has some super cool ones for you to grab!  They ARE generating lots of buzz.................

TTFN, Jane

ATC Fun

 As my stamping took shape, I met the Technique Junkies- that was in 2004.  I joined in ATC swaps with other 'Junkies'. Not only do I have samples of many other artists work, I also get to see techniques IRL that I may not have had the time to try- OR- I get to see a technique in more than one sample.
  Here is an ATC I made using the Pearly Gelato technique:

  This is a portion of an image and a sentiment from Technique Junkies.

Here is this same ATC on a card:

It is always fun to look at images and see how they can be added to an ATC. One of my favorite Asian stamps at Technique Junkies is a background Geishas stamp.

 Here I added the Geisha's separately- to background(s) of Pasted Delusions. These ATC's were the first to go in my local monthly exchange.

 More pasted Delusions backgrounds with images from Lt-Rt: Firecracker Designs by Pamela (store closed), and the rooster  and sentiment are by SmARTworks (now closed), and the Owl is a pre-colored digital image from DeeDee digi's.

 Would you like one of the rooster or theatre ATC's?  Just leave a comment below with a way for me to reach you and I will mail one to you!

We have an ATC swap sign-up right now at Technique Junkies- would you like to join in?  Just drop me a line @ Shellymc2 at Comcast.net 

Have a great day!
