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!

Try That Technique - Pearly Gelatos Wash

Hi Junkies, Tricia here with this week's try that technique "Pearly Gelatos Wash".

I tried something a little different this week.  I decided to take my background a create a water scene.  Stamps are from Gina K Designs.  I used a paper mask to create the mountains with my distress inks.

I hope you can join us this week, would love to see what creative ideas you have!

Happy Easter and Have A Crafty Day!

Pearly Gelatos Wash: Passover Wishes

Hi Hetty here,

and I have been playing with my gelatos.

It is one of the techniques in the new April/ May

newsletter and is called Pearly Gelatos Wash.

It is one of those super easy techniques.

In a jiffy you have all these pearly backgrounds ready

for making great backgrounds for your cards. It is always

a pity you do not see the glittery background on screen.

You can use them plain like this. Or emboss them.

Or you can use those wonderful Technique Junkies 

stamp backgrounds togive them more depth.

Another option is to stamp them first and then 

use one of your embossing plates.

Enough ideas?

Here is one of my finished cards.

As Passover is near, I needed 

some new cards for the occasion.

The sentiment is SU! and the 

Passover plate is frommu unknown stash.

The decoration with the flowers and the ribbon

finish the card to give it a Spring feeling.

If you want to see what happened to the other 4 backgrounds,

please take a look at my Craftchaos Blog.

Thanks for looking

and wishing all my Jewish stamp friends a 

and have a creative day!
