Whisped Frames

Hi folks.  I had to make a get well card so I turned to two adorable stamps from the Technique Junkies Stamps:  the bird on a flourish branch and a background stamp.  I used the Whisped Frames technique, an oldie but goodie technique that enhances the main image.

I saw this colour combination on a card while surfing Splitcoast Stampers and really wanted to try my hand at it too.  Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo from SU were used.  I was lucky enough to have ribbon in a coordinating colour too.

Today I am sharing a very special card--a card for my brand new neice! You can read the whole story here, if you are so inclined!

I've used three different techniques---one of my very favorite and often used, Paper Piecing. I love the attention to detail and stress relief this technique affords me!

For the background piece, I finally had a chance to try Glassy Embossing (Feb/March 2010). The true beauty of this technique is completely lost in a scanner! If you haven't given this easy and dynamic technique a try--do it today! You will completely love the results.

Finally, I completed the image piece with the Whisped Frames technique (Feb/March 2010). I really wanted to pull more of the pink (it being a baby card and all!) tones from the background paper--Whisped Frames was the perfect way to do so!

I hope you're feeling inspired!!

TTFN, Jane
