The Long Awaited Princess by Jane Bosi

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

Glassy Embossing Valentine

This Valentine uses a couple of TJ techniques. The Cuttlebug layer with the candy hearts uses the Glassy Embossing technique from the current February newsletter. The heart was cut from a scrap of card stock that was created with the Antique Glimmers technique. I then sponged some ink over the top of the tiny embossed hearts. I used two other heart punches to add layers and dimensions. I used punches, die cuts, and eyelets to add the other embellishments.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
