Try That Technique - Embossed Stains

Hi Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks technique of the week, Embossed Stains.

Technique of the Week - Glazed Resist

Happy Sunday Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks technique of the week, glazed resist.

I had so much fun doing this Christmas Card with mixed media.  The snowflakes were done with the glazed resist technique, then I sponged my crafters workshop stencil (words) on top of them.  I added a silhouette cut snowflake and applied some lumiere paint on them.  The tag is from Tim Holtz distressed with distress paints.  I am so excited to get started on my Christmas Cards.

I hope you have a crafty day and thanks so much for stopping by.  Can't wait to see what you can come up with using the Glazed Resist technique.  Have FUN!!!

Throwback Saturday - Double Emboss & Cut

I made this card for my girlfriends daughter who graduated college.  I used my copics to color her dress and to color my flowers to match.  The background is done with the Double Emboss and Cut technique from the October 2011.  I love this technique...it gives such a great effect to your spellbinder die cuts.  I have to remember to use it more.

All papers are from Gina K Designs.  I used my various dies.  I quilled the roses and lilies.  Stamps are from Saturated Canary, Stampin Up! and Gina K Designs.

TOTW - Crinkled Watercolors

Hi Junkies, its that time again, the Technique of the Week.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.  I love being able to try all the techniques and I really anticipate who will join in each week with their lovely creations.

This week we are featuring "Crinkled Watercolors".  This fast became one of my favorites and I know it will be one that I continue to use...maybe in some Christmas card (which I need to start soon) LOL...Maybe a Christmas in July will come to Try That Technique...who knows...stay tuned.

Well I digress...here is this weeks card.  My mom needed a card for my cousins wedding last weekend so I colored up this sweet image from Stampin Up!  My cousin and his new wife love to ride and they are not frilly people so I thought this CAS card would do the trick.  I colored the image with copics and watercolored the background with my copic refills to match my background.

The sentiment is from Stampabilities and is cut out using a spellbinders die.  I added a little flair with a stencil and my airbrush (which I believe is another TJ Newsletter technique :))

Well that's all for me. Hope you have a crafty week!

TOTW - Embossed Color Pencils

Hi Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks "Try that Technique".  I loved seeing your creations from last week, they were all fantastic and I am so happy so many of you joined along.

This is such a cool technique and so easy to do.  I did this card up for my cousins' wedding celebration this weekend.  I love this stamp from I Brake For Stamps, I use it for all kinds of celebrations.  I colored it up with my prismacolor pencils.  The sentiment is one from Gina K Designs.

It's hard to see the embossing in this picture so I took this one to show you.  It adds a new level of interest to your card.

I would love to see what you come up with.  Hope you have a crafty week!

TOTW - Sponged Ombre Watercoloring

Hi Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks "Technique of the Week"!  I couldn't wait to color up this fantastic Saturated Canary stamp with my copics.

I used the Sponged Ombre Watercoloring technique on both the background of the Eiffel Tower and on the blue & purple background.  I resurrected my neglected Quickutz alphabet and die cuts.  I forgot how much I love them.  I also used the out of the nestie box technique (always a favorite). 

This is such an easy technique, we would love for you to join us this week to see what you come up with.  I love all the inspiration from this group!

Diagonal Images Backgrounds

Happy Sunday (night)...Tricia here with your Technique of The Week...Diagonal Images Backgrounds.  This is a fun technique that can be used with ALL of your stamps.

I have 2 cards to share with you today.

This card features a Technique Junkies stamp.

My second card is actually 2 stamps from Gina K Designs.  I used a rectangle stamp which I used first and then I used the Dream Catcher stamp and stamped inside the rectangle.  I love the look of the box around the image.  If you don't have stamps with a box around them a couple of line rectangles or squares will work great...maybe even circles...hmmm may need to try that. :)

I hope you will join us this week!

Have a crafty week!  See you next weekend.
