SEPIA - SO FAR AWAY

I just recieved my order from Firecracker Designs By Pamela. I love getting new stamps and had a hard time taking care of my other responsibilities and not playing first! :) Great service, prompt answers to questions and fast shipping...not to mention a great quality of stamps. I am thankful they are vendors of Technique Junkies!

This card features the stamp set So Far Away by Firecracker Designs By Pamela.
I couldn't resist using the SEPIA Technique from the October/ November Technique Junkies Newsletter.

Here are a few more details:

Burnished Background & Painted Puzzle

Hope y'all are having a wonderful start to your week this week! I also hope you are all enjoying life and the beautiful autumn season. Where I am, the leaves are starting to change their colours and the air is crisp and cold. Just little things I'm thankful for!

Here's a card using 2 techniques, Painted Puzzle, a bonus technique from CD #7 and Burnished Background from the October '09 issue. Both are fun techniques to be sure and the possibilities are endless. If you haven't gotten your latest CD release, I encourage you to do so. The bonus techniques on the CD will blow you away!

On my card, the stamp image on the puzzle is from Paperbag Studio. Background is from Stampin' Up! Click photo to enlarge. Enjoy!

Until next time, may mojo live happily in your heart, and may passion bloom in your soul. Be well!

Snow Buddies

Happy Wednesday!! I'm pleased to be sharing this cute project I made featuring the Sepia technique! What a great technique--currently featured in the TJ Newsletter!

My supplies are all from Stampin' Up! The base of my card is Kraft cardstock. I've also used Brocade Blue, Bravo Burgundy and Ultra Smooth White cardstock. All of my images are stamped in Chocolate Chip. The stamps are from Snow Buddies (Level 2 hostess set) and Sparkly and Bright.

The front panel, which is hard to see in the photo, has torn "snow" banks that are all glittered up! Can't have snow without a little bling!

I hope you've enjoyed my Sepia project and are inspired to try this awesome technique yourself!

TTFN, Jane

Colorwash Batik

It's fall in the Northern Hemisphere! As much as I hate to see summer fade away, I do love the colors associated with autumn. One of the techniques that shows off those colors---or any others, for that matter---is Colorwash Batik from the December 2006 TJ newsletter. Spray washes of any kind will work for this great technique, and your results will please you.
