Clipped Corners by Judy Jackson

Hi! Judy Jackson here.

I love this Steampunk set by Artistic Outpost. I used the train station and a few other stamps from this set to create this card.  I watercolored the images of the man and station. Then I used the Clipped Corners Technique from the October 2010 issue of the TJ Newsletter before I placed it on my panel.

The other image and the stamped words were just sponged with color. The crocheted lace trim seemed to just match vintage image the vintage look of the train station. I modified the Technique by Design sketch for this month to allow for the larger stamped image for this design sketch. The script stamp in the corner is from Stampin' Up. The background paper at the bottom is from 7 Gypsies.

Enjoy your week. Take some time to be creative!

More Technique by Design cards by Judy Jackson

 

Hi! Judy Jackson here!

Sometimes design sketches just really appeal to me -- and this one from the October 2010 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter did for sure! So I created several cards using this design sketch. It is fun to see how different cards will look using the same design sketch. I used the Greeting Card Kids set, a word set, and punches from Stampin' Up! for these two cards. The Halloween card also uses the Worn Wallpaper Technique from the August 2010 Newsletter. Aren't these little girls sweet!

Have a great week! JudyJackson

Welcome to the Technique By Design Blog Hop!

Hi! Judy Jackson here!  Welcome to the Technique by Design Blog Hop for the October-November Technique Junkie Newsletter! There are wonderful projects for you to enjoy and to inspire you on this blog hop.

I chose this gorgeous single rose from Class Act stamps to feature as the focal image. I water colored the rose and added a few highlights with a red marker. My word stamp in the lower panel is from a stamp set called Our Family Tree by Mark's Finest Papers. The metal embellishment uses a technique called Smooched Metal from the October TJ Newsletter.

The design and measurements for this Technique by Design sketch are located on page 6 in the TJ Newsletter.

Make sure you hop through the rest of the Design Team member's blogs (a list is below). Lots of eye candy for you there! Then create a card using the design sketch and follow Pat Huntoon's directions for entering the contest.

Try That Technique

Hi, it's Beth here, with a new technique. Diana Enns and I challenged each other to use the Cling and Scrunch technique from the June 07 issue. Normally I would have a link to Diane's awesome card, but her blog wasn't available. Could be a blogger glitch this morning. Yikes!

As you can see, I used one colour on my technique because I wanted the look of water for my ark.

Each week we challenge you to trying the technique for the week, and we are doing it again. Link yourself up to Mr. Linky for your chance to win a week on the TJ Yahoo group home page.

This week's winner is Beth Ullman. Congratulations, Beth. Your awesome card is on our home page. Yahoo!
