Feathered Mo!

What by chance is a feathered Mo? Well.......here is a card that uses THE most adorable image from Mo's Digital Pencil. It is called End of Summer. The minute I saw it I KNEW I NEEDED it!! I spent quite a bit of time coloring it in with my copics. I really wanted to do it justice! I hope you like the little hint of circles on her shirt! BUT for the light yellow background, I hadn't worked on it before the rest of the image and didn't want to mess it up so I did it with my prismacolor pencils/gamsol. Now you know the Mo part of the title.......the feathered part of the title is the background she sits on. It is called Feathered Tie Dye and is a technique from the December 08 newsletter. When that technique came out I made a TON. It was such a fun thing to do that I just couldn't stop. Now, I have wads of the paper in my stash and it just worked wonderful for this image. The small words (which I have no idea where they came from) were stamped on white but I colored it with air brushed copics. I hope you enjoy this image and want to try the technique for yourself. You'll go crazy just like I did!!

Double Bugging

Hello, fellow TJers! This simple card was made using the Double Bugging technique from the June/July 2009 issue. Folders are by Cuttlebug, frame dies are Spellbinders, tree stamp is from Inkadinkadoo, and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up.





Now, go get out your back issues and start trying these techniqes. Many of them can be made with items you have on hand!



Have fun!

I love this technique! It can be made with soft colors or with bright ones, but I prefer the soft ones, such as SU's Bashful Blue and Mellow Moss, which I used for this one.   The technique is found in the April 2006 newsletter.    Stamp:  "Iluminata" by Inkadinkado.....inked for the first time for this card (4 1/4x 5 1/2 inches).      Evelyn Spikes

Antiuqe Glimmer Mist - Penny Black kitten


I had one person tell me they couldn't open the attachment in my email so I thought I would put this on the TJ DT blog.

I am sure you are going to love this technique! I usually make several all at once since they are so easy to do and produce such wonderful results!

The link is now live so read about this wonderful technqiue and create some work. OK -- you can wait till you eat the turkey and all the fixings.

I colored the kitty and the butterflies with my Copic markers and used some Spellbinder die cuts for the background .

Enjoy!
