TOTW Washi Shapes

 
 
 
Hi Everyone, Jackie K back again with the Technique of the Week;  Washi Shapes. I had such fun with this card. I knew I wanted to use the mannequins but didn't have a die cut so I just used a stamp from Inkadinkado and cut out the torso part. The Paris stamp is from PSX and the Fashion word stamp is from Hearts In Touch. There is no limit as to what can be done with this technique, as there is no shortage of washi tape designs. Also if you use a stamp like I did, well the possibilities are endless!
Give it a try. It's fun!
Keep on creating!


Emboss around the image

Hello, Hetty here with  two cards for you

I haven't seen much around,but is so easy 
to do and gives a wonderful result.

You find the tutorial for this technique
in the newsletter of Oct/Nov 2012

Technique Junkies stamps and a 
Club Scrap sentiment.

This card is made with a  Create with TLC sentiment
and some fun time embossingfolders.

Dogive this technique a try,
it is easier than you think!

Have a creative day!

Washi Shapes





Hello friends.  It's Beth Norman, here with this week's technique, "Washi Shapes."  I wanted to experiment to see how this technique would work with a large background die, and was pleased with the results.  I used my signature bright colours for my Washi Shapes.

Although this technique was zippy quick, my card took me two hours because I spent time on You Tube watching videos learning how to colour skin and clothes with my underused Copics.  Tricia, one of our Design Team members, works with them beautifully and encouraged me to follow You Tube.

My bow tied up pretty.  Some time ago I won blog candy from Shelly, another DT member, and included in that was a big bag of ribbon and a bow maker.  So back to You Tube I went to learn how to use it.

So, my card was inspired by others, along with this week's technique.  Lot's of experimenting for me.

I hope I inspired you to try something new.

Stamp:  Mo Manning from Stampavie

Tri Cut Dies

 
 
 
Jackie K here with a Tri Cut Dies . Please excuse the black behind the card but the card dissolved into the background without it. I used Papertrey Ink and See D's Stamps for this card. I really like this technique and have another card using it in the "works."

I hope everyone is well.
See you back here soon!
