Itoh Peony

Hey everyone! Jessie here today sharing some embossing and Brusho card making. 

I started by embossing the Itoh Peony stamp onto some Bee Watercolor Paper. 

I then wet down the paper, and sprinkled the Sunburst Yellow near the flower centers, Allowing that to dry partially I then wet the paper again and sprinkled on the Alizarin Crimson, then spraying it a little more to help it move around the page. After that, we play the waiting game, and let the watercolours dry.

Once that was dry, I cut down the front panel to fit on the front of the card. Pulling out a Hello die from my stash I cut it out of the coloured pannel and 4 times out of white cardstock to build it up. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Poppies Mother's Day

Hello friends!

Giovana here today with a Mother's Day card!

Love this Poppy Bouquet image, it's gorgeous and you can use different mediums to add color.

Position your stamp on your MISTI and ink image in JetBlack ink, color image with watercolor pencils, in this case I used Spectrum Aqua Pencils, used my heat embossing gun to speed the dry process, but you can let it sit and air dry.

After that I used a stencil to add the background circles.

Stamp the sentiment from All The Moms Set on a white banner in Red Ink.

Added Nuvo drops on flower center and Blushing Carmine Nuvo Glitter Marker to the petal edges.

Hope you like this project.

Have a wonderful day!

White Diamond Variations

Today I'm creating two different designs using the White Diamonds Background with Shimmering Bliss Resist.  Remember, you can use my discount code TJ10Stephanie for 10% off your order at the Technique Junkies Store.

I stamped with white craft ink on white cardstockm and clear embossed before spraying on the Shimmering Bliss.  The left one combines Chestnut Mare with Golden Olivine ... on the right is Imperial Yellow and Lapis Lazuli.

The Blue/Yellow color combination was perfect for the current Fusion Tropical Fish Card Challenge.

I paired the background with the fun underwater sentiment Octopus Face.  I pulled in the orange from the photo and scattered some sequins to bring in the *bubbles*.  I used a loose variation of the Sketch for some Fusion fun.

For my next card I cut my White Diamonds Background into a circle inspired by the Inskpirational Challenge.  The colors and textures reminded me of the stone trivets in the picture.

I stamped a sentiment from Technique Junkies Better with Coffee in Stazon Spiced Chai Ink and cut with an oval.

The horizontal piece is from a recycled magazine page (it reminded me of the table top) and a scattered some sequins to bring in the feel of the stones.

I hope I've given you some ideas for using this fun background stamp ... it is so versatile with lots of possibilities.

Fiesta!

Fiesta like there's no Manana folks!  Hope you are having a great week!  This was a fun card to make because I love sponging, and sponging over this beautiful A Colorful Life Swirl Grid turned out very festive.

The sentiment, called Fiesta, that I added is from the April new release.  Isn't this a fun card?

Fiesta, Fiesta!

The lovely red poppies are so lovely!  The Poppy Field stamp was painted with Technique Junkies Shimmering Bliss which had been sprayed first on a non-porous surface.  The greeting Fiesta was embossed and sponged with yellow and red dye based inks.

Dahlias For Easter

Happy Easter to all my fellow Christians, and happy Sunday to the rest of you lovely peeps!  It's my turn to post on the blog today.  
I actually made my card for this post about a month ago.  When I made it, I wasn't thinking about the date it was due, and that it happened to be Easter, or I would have made a more Eastery/springy colored card.  But, at least it features flowers.  Dahlias, to be exact...

Technique Junkies stamps:
Dahlias S811
In Full Bloom Sentiments Set of 6 SS105

I stamped the Dahlias onto kraft card stock, and did some relaxing colored with my Polychromos colored pencils.  I brushed dusty concord distress ink along the edges to carry the color out.

I stamped the verse from the In Full Bloom Sentiments set onto vellum, and attached it to the panel by wrapping it around and taping it on the back.  


I added the finished panel to another panel cut from the same die, using craft foam for dimension.  Then I added it to an A2 kraft card.  A few moonshine sequins finish the front.




And for the inside:

I hope you have been enjoying our cards for this April release.  I think these stamps were fabulous, and am sure you will find or have found some you like!

Wreath Wishes

Hello Junkies! 

It's Ceal, here today to share a card with you. 

My card today uses one of our April release stamps, Wreath Wishes. 

Remember you can save 10% on your entire order excluding clearance items  using my code TJ10Ceal.

To create my card I started with a white top folding card base and a piece of white card stock. I stamped the greeting on the front of the card base and then stamped the wreath image on a piece of white card stock, colored it using Copic Markers and fussy cut it out. I placed it around the greeting and popped it up with foam tape
